Ha! I started on flight sim, made it to rc planes, and the first day of flight instruction, I told the instructor and he said: “if you can fly rc, you can fly full scale.” All I had to master was emergency procedures and some theory on the throttle vs pitch and I was off to the skies!

I’d imagine the stakes are a little higher when you're on the plane looking down than when you're on the ground looking up?

The rest makes sense. Controls are in different places, everything is bigger, but the basics are the same.

Is the bigger plane easier in the sense it is less twitchy?

I’ve tried a couple of RC helicopters and the larger one was much easier to handle.

Yeah, flying a plane is "easy". It's the taking off and landing that gets tricky. /s
