RE: Please help me do the unthinkable ...
I learned how to fly myself. Just stay calm and use the basic physics of flight.
On the day I had my first flight, guys asked me after I brought my trainer plane down safely how long I had been flying. When I told them it was my first time, they said I was lucky.
Then I had an "instructor' show me how to fly, he crashed my trainer. I learned that if I crash it, I rebuild it, if an instructor crashed it, I rebuilt it also. So I never had anyone show me again.
So, the question is, do I fly well?? I fly many scale warbirds, small over weight stuff at times. And they mostly come back in one piece. I'm not bad.
I like the fact I taught myself. I got into rc just to fly scale warplanes.
