. It obvious he did crash with them by the wing and such but that is life.
Let us all hope he is better at his day job. He is a commercial pilot!
Hey, and thanks for the links to the covering too!</span></span>

There you go Minnflier came through with the links and they are good ones. I would rather start someone with no full scale experiance anytime. Much easier for me.

Full scale flyers typically seem to take longer to acheve the skills. While the aerodynamics are the same the way in which RC is flown is very different requiring full scalers to retrain in all the basics. On occassion some full scalers come with an 'attitude' thats is counter productive to their goals. I also am a retired full scaler and long time instructor in both fixed and rotor wing.

I think you will find lots folks that work in various aviation disciplines also are modelers.
