@Lookingforfourfor, there's not a lot of math but as long as you have basic algebra and physics, you're good to go. training can be demanding in that there's a lot of book knowledge involved. and since you're flying with a receiver only 20 feet behind you, there's no room for error.

[Lookingforfourfor]

whats training like to be a boom operator?" is there a lot of math?

thanks!
