Thats going to be a problem, there are no flying clubs around for miles, lots of miles, the nearest hobby store is over 20 miles away. I've flown before, but have switched to heli's, and it has been a long time since I last built a plane, and don't want to do that again.   I have my eye on a parkzone P47.  Since my ground isn't very smooth I may consider a gear less model and practice belly flops in tall grass instead.  I used to have a nasty habit of chopping throttle on takeoff, but I overcame that, so take offs are easy now, its lining up for landings I need practice on.  The P51 is hand launched, and belly lands, and not very expensive, so that may be one to consider.

Funny thing, I can hover a real heli a lot better than I can on the sim, except for the UH1, that bugger fly's really nice in the sim.
