Default Foam Shure Do Crumble Purtty (on impact) donnit??

Are there any licensed private pilots out there who have successfully transitioned to flying a model airplane that is "over there" from flying a plane by just looking out the window?? And are there any suggestions? I'm getting quite a collection of broken foam airplane parts. Thanks. SAM AURILIO

Hi Sam

After reading this post several times, I'm still not sure what you are getting at. I think Exeter's idea is a good one. If you're having a hard time, locate a flying field you like and talk to the instructor(s). Get them to put you on the buddy box. You'll learn all the right stuff and not the bad habits that get us all into trouble.

Good Luck

Ernie
