I got into the hobby in 1970 and have been hooked ever since. I learned very quickly and a year later began giving flight training. I started teaching using a buddy box, but my students were banging the sticks around, so I reached over and put my thumb and forefinger underneath the student's thumb on top of the aileron/elevator stick. That ended the stick banging and I could easily monitor what his thumb was doing, and I could easily correct him, not allowing him to make any mistakes. My only purpose is to get more people into the hobby/sport.
I now spend all of my time telling people about RC aeromodeling and how easy the learning process can be, particularly using my innovative training/promotion technique. I have no trouble getting people to fly skillfully within 30 minutes on average and many are ready to train someone else using my technique on an RC simulator. I bring up the subject daily to many people and I found out there are many people interested in the hobby when I bring it up. I call my plan mass and rapid growth. I can teach anyone how to use this technique, and depending on the previous RC flying experience they have, they can learn how to use it when they train using RC airplanes. I have a standing offer all flying season to share this with anyone. You can also use this technique on an RC flight simulator all year round.
