Scared of mid-airs

I can see where the original poster's apprehension stems from, having
flown once, from the FO's seat. I wasn't at all inhibited in doing a
stall, steepish banks and other jiggles - in fact, I did them all
merrily. But I was petrified throughout the ride because the craft, a
JetFox, didn't have a radar and the only way of recognizing traffic in
the immediate neighborhood was by actually looking out the window. Just
felt a sense of being helplessly vulnerable in an open sky. It might go
away if I fly more, because the Capn seemed very assured

Is it correct to assume that one can always be whacked by traffic
coming from between the 4 and 8 o'clock positions, especially if the
other craft is faster and climbing?
