I decided to delete my last comment because I don't fully understand your point. My stupidity for trying? I've been flying for 20 years! and have been flying models since a kid, my father is also a pilot and taught me to fly RC planes when I was young, at 11 I was flying his (real) cesnna 150 without intervention.
No one could ever take off without some instructions, try to use your left foot to brake your car and see what happens.
- robomartin 14y agoAre you the author of the original article? I think I screwed up my post. It actually refers to the guy who tried to fly and land the Cessna using his flight sim experience. That was dumb. As for your article, good attempt but what do you think are the chances that someone will remember all of that without conducting drills once or twice a week? In other words, what you do in flight school. I have enough trouble having people remember to manage energy and fly --as opposed to "drive"-- a model airplane around. That's why I start everyone with a pure glider (no motor). With such an approach they have no choice but to learn what flying is really about and manage energy at all stages. Flying is a beautiful and complex art.
