who cares what he claims himself as. its his choice not yours.
as for flying by yourself, it can be done.
most condem it because a buddybox is the safest bet.
what i have realized about flying airplanes is do not over think it.
most get confused about the left/right/up/down, the way i have taught people is push a stick to one side, if thats not the way you want it to go push it to the other side quickly. basically you are flying the airplane based on what the airplane does not how you think the airplane should react. if that makes any sense to anyone
This is the best advice right here!! This is how this self taught pilot learned. Very well stated Jimmy, you get a rating boost from me

. Slow and easy movements till you see what works (but not too slow that your plane goes out of range and altitude of course). Did the same on the flight sim that came with the plane (nexstar Select) first flight, thought I was having a heart attack
Kennel, accept all advise with a grain of salt. Eventually you will learn to filter out (skip over) the negative feedback like I have. Just a waste of my time reading all the negative stuff.
Let me add:
Crashes are not guaranteed to happen, only kidney stone(s)
