I'm not saying you can't learn to fly such a model without help; it's
possible. But in a no-aileron plane you use the rudder to pick up a low
wing, and the sense of that will still be backwards when it's coming at
you. Good luck.

My first RC model was elevator, throttle, and rudder. It few fine and
was not that difficult. Flying inverted towards you is _very_ hard
though, since the rudder only produces a good turn because of dihedral!

You are right of course the coming towards you problem exists anyway. It
is just practice and a mental axis transference.

Mine would spin and do flick rolls though - well the two go together of
course.

Although I was heavily into giant scale WWII models, I had a ton of fun
with a little rudder/alevator model with a Cox .049 engine - no throttle
or landing gear. It was pretty zippy though; definitely not a trainer.
