Harry had sent this link to me and I thought I would post it.

Good way to chop off your hand starting the engines

So people who fly RC planes are considered pilots now?

[Jon Wehrenberg]

I don't think guys who fly RC planes are pilots, but I highly respect their skills. It is easy to manipulate the controls when you and the aircraft are always pointing in the same direction, such as sitting in the pilot's seat.

But an RC controlled plane is coming at you or going away from you and your brain and fingers are always trying to keep track of what is left and what is right. That takes considerable skill and I am not sure I have that ability.

That B29 could probably hold a person and still fly. Of course the aerobatics would be out, but then the real ones couldn't do them either.

If I were to get into RC, I'd want a camera in the nose and the monitor built into my controls, then you wouldn't have to watch it in the air, you could then 'fly' it. Then you could mount air/BB guns in the fighters and strafe or have dog fights, THAT would be cool!
