How exactly do you fly the RC plane when its so far away from you?

Well I guess a follow up to that question would be, how would you tell its angle of attack as not to stall it out? Do you judge the airspeed by eye? It sounds like as long as you keep good situation awareness of the plane its not as hard as it appears.

Holy crap, when you mentioned flying into freezing rain...I fly little Cessnas and the way I learned was simply avoid it and understand how quickly things like freezing rain can ruin your day, but there's hardly ever going to be a practical demonstration of it in the plane (illegal to fly into known icing on those little guys). It seems like you get to toy around with things I can't. Do you ever get anxious about losing the plane? Flat spin?

It really seems like a different world flying from the outside of a plane (40% scale is still pretty freaking big) than flying from the inside.

Wow awesome. Just figuring out as it comes. Sounds pretty interesting, I'd love to try it out some time. Thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions

Hello,

Are there any long term impacts to constantly changing your circadian rhythm? For example waking up late for an evening shift but very quickly moving the shift to early morning?

The context is that I'm an airline pilot that constantly gets a schedule that works late on day 1 but by day 4 of a given trip has me waking up between 3-5AM. Additionally many times we are put "legally" at rest early in the day in order to get us to stay up late for a long red eye flight.

On that note - FAA states that there are two periods of circadian lows. However they only focus on the low existing in the AM hours in terms of rest required. Is the afternoon PM low just as bad?
