Not necessarily.  Start with the controller and one device, installed within range.  Build out from there.

Oh, this guy is no pilot -- just a bullsh*tter extraordinaire.

A number of years ago while I was driving back to Sarasota from Orlando I noticed what appeared to be an ultra-light doing
aerobatics about a mile or so West of I-75.  The pilot would climb several thousand feet, execute a power on stall and enter a spin.
He recovered and repeated this several times.  Finally he entered one more spin and some trees blocked my view.  Not seeing him
climb back up I assumed he had gone straight and level and left the area.  The next day I heard on the news that an experimental had
gone down in the area with a fatality.

I don't think he was doing something foolish -- just risky.  Something went wrong.  We'll probably never know precisely what it was.
Sad.

Note: The guy I was talking about in a previous post doesn't pull anything but folks' legs.  He wouldn't know how to fly a 737 or
anything else in a million years.  You'll see him posting stuff here every so often.
