777 Captain Crashes Mav

[GMG]

?..the fact that pushing forward on a control makes the airplane go down, and pulling back on it makes the airplane go up, it takes a couple times to get used to the opposite being true.

That's the thing that initially messed me up. I still worry that even though I've adapted to it, if I got into a situation where there's a bit of stress and needed to react quickly that my brain will revert to pushing forward to bring the nose down (although with mode 2 quads the reverse will happen)!

To be fair to my bro, I am also an airline pilot. He just gives me **** Bc he flies a bigger aircraft than me.

Quote from Tuco: " the bigger they are, the harder they fall....".
Years ago my flight instructor said" you can teach a monkey how to fly, all it takes is bananas"..
Same for a lot of stuff really. Feed him bananas and peanuts, crash his mavic right back when he gets his own. Darn sure he must have liked the critter!
