Actually, I did the RC thing 1st back in '93 or so, then stopped
everything RC for about 12 years and got back into RC Helis and full
scale right about the same time a few years ago.
The full scale training didn't help me fly the RC, but it did help
with setup/troubleshooting 'cuz I knew the hows and whys of helicopter
aerodynamics.

I get SOOOO many PMs on Helifreak from newbies who are concerned about
the lean in a hover or who can't get a hands-free hover.. They all
seem to be really surprised when I tell 'em you actually have to FLY
the thing...

Yeah, especially when you're practicing autos. :)
