RE: New RC Flyer, where can I get help?
A 'normal' club member really is anyone who pays his dues and comes when he can. As long as you can coordinate time to work with your instructor you're as normal as anyone else. If you can attend a meeting once in a while, that's good but it is definitely not a requirement.
The Greenville club has the monthly meeting at the flying field on the 2nd Saturday, at noon, and having more than eight or ten people in attendance is a huge turnout. January usually has quite a few because we need to pay our dues for the new year. When I joined, we met on a Tuesday night at a restaurant. It was tough getting to Greenville on time if I didn't leave work early.
