Default Question in English

What do you call a person that flies a radio control airplane?
He is not the pilot since he is not sitting in the plane…[8D]
He is not a flyer since he is not flying
Radio controller is what we call transmitter.
And he is not a controller if the airplane is out of control…

The first definition of pilot in my dictionary is "A steersman." Nothing about method of steering.

And he is not a controller if the airplane is out of control…
Well he should still be called a pilot because everything you mentioned can be done with a pilot in a plane.
