What finally prompted you to take flying lessons?

I know a guy who's big into RC, and from his knowledge of aerodynamics and
manuevers, I would agree that the flying part is probably about the same.
Maybe even more liberal in RC since you can do some relatively scary
maneuvers with severely less risk.


But I suspect the view is a little better when you're inside the cockpit,
and your gut is twisting with the G's...

Model airplanes and destiny. My Dad was a RC hobbyist who loved the
electronics and the construction. Turned out I loved the sky and
airplanes. Turning 16 allowed me to play in the sky with airplanes that
I could actually get inside.

'Full Scale' flying just requires more formal training so I took 'full
scale' flying lessons.

I still don't see a clear dividing line between models and full size
a/c.
Same sky, same pilot, different a/c.
