RE: Novice in Need
I'll be short and to the point. All three stiles ofpowered RC flying (gas,glow, electric) have similar butstill different safety concerns from each other. Before you decide on which turns you on more ,research the safety, and storageissues to start. A friend of mine (experienced flyer of ten years)wascharging up his lipo batteries, and walkedin the houseto get another cup of coffee. When he came back out ..... his garage was on fire. RC flying is a blast, your going to make a lot ofnew friends and want to spend all the time you can with them. But get in the habit of thinking "what if" , what if I do this, or what will happen if I do that. More people have been injuredinthis sport because they had a "brain fart", or decided thatthey'll never getdinged, or that safty just dosen't apply to them. Take a number andwait your turn on that one. In the mean time slow down, make asound decision on how youneed to proceed (get helpwith that) with your training, selection, maintenance, storage, and flying. You do the things, and follow the sound adviceyour peers here have beengiving you and you won't believe how much fun your going to have. Stay safe, and enjoy the flying. It's just going to get better.
