So I had him place his hand on his leg as he sat on a chair. Interestingly enough, after a few minutes of flying, his hand all but stopped shaking. Wonder if the medical establishment might be interested. He did solo that day.
I might want to take you up on that offer if it is a possibility. I can help you pay for gas. There is a place to fly about 35 minutes from here on I-95. Or I could meet you part way. You can contact me at [email protected]

Is that place to fly a club or private field?

I'm afraid that you would have to travel to my area. Like so many have said, there are probably lots of clubs near you that would happy to provide instruction.
Even if I would make the 400 mile trek to give you free training, what if there is a law against flying in a public park?

OK, I understand. It's ok anyway because it turns out that my wife didn't give me the go ahead on that anyway. Thanksfor suggesting it. I'll find someone in my area.
