Bewa learning to control an RC airplane is generally reckoned to be
more difficult than learning to control a full scale airplane. Things
happen *much* faster and the direction sense of the ailerons is reversed
when the airplane turns towards you - coping with this requires a fair
amount of practice.

What I found difficult was discerning the direction of the aircraft
from a distance when I flew a 12' wingspan model sailplane along the
cliffs of Palos Verdies, CA. Fortunately this ship wasn't so fast
that I required instruction to learn to control it.
