How about a PIREP? I've been looking at simple, out of the box RC

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.

When I was working my way through my PPL and a collection of CFIs, I always
told them of my experiences with RC aircraft: never a successful landing
(unless you count the stall onto a tree branch). Of course, I explained
all this on climb-out.
