Realistic? When you "fly" Condor, do your feet get cold? Do you hear the
"hiss" of the oxygen regulator? Do you pee in a baggie or get up and go to
the bathroom? When you "land out" do you wait hours for a retrieve (while
drinking beer with a pleasant farmer) or do you simply rewind to launch
point and have another go?

And I suppose that (especially if you build your own model planes) your risk
of crash and loss ups the ante by adding real mitigatable risk (compared to
sims).

I wonder if the life transitions sim_flying -- real_flying and
real_flying -- sim_flying are equivalent? I've relatively little
sim_flying experience (exclusively Condor)and it seems very real to me.
Plus some older minds are better able to revel in reminiscent.

That said, I will probably give the RC glider scene a try as some point.
