Tom,
I am just past the point of joining the wings. I'm expanding the hole in the wing for the aileron servo to fit. I am not working on it everyday. I have other projects at home that I'm alternating between.

Don,
Yes, I have read about 80 percent of this threads posts mostly between yourself, tom and elad. It did take about 2 hours to get through it all I actually don't hear anything at the field. I have been a fan of rc flying since I was 10, I'm 25 now. My dad bought me a goldberg cub anniversary edition for my 10th birthday. Its still no more than a skeleton after all these years so I finally ventured out and got myself a plane (eagle II) thinking it was about time I did something about my burning desire to fly rc. I have just joined a club which at about 25 miles is the closest to my house. I have not gotten the since of being welcome there so I'm skeptical about rejoining for the next year. It has been hard to get information from anyone and I don't feel that they care about having a new member join their group. You know what I mean? I am very jealous of Elad reading about his wonderful instructor. I highly doubt after my experience with this club so far that I will find someone as dedicated as his instructor. I just feel that being new to the hobby, I have a lot of questions that need answers and further more need an instructor that is going to be dedicated and not want to do things half assed or be obnoxious with me and not compassionate about what hes doing. I met with a guy out at the field about a month ago who is supposed to be the guy to get instruction from due to the fact that he flies everyday and is supposed to know his stuff. Anyway, in conversation he says, " make sure you build two over the winter because one won't last you" Now,... that may be true but for someone who is definately not wealthy by any means and barely had the money to get into the hobby spending $600 dollars on a whole plane, engine, radio setup this is not something you want to hear, even if it is true. So I'm kind of leary from the get go about flying with this guy now.

I have found one person who is a rcuniverse member and has been a great help. He is in my area and told me about a farmer who lets people fly on his land and that the guys there are a great bunch. I said I would check this out when my plane is finished. I apologize for the rambling but I guess I'm writing all of this because I don't know what to do. The club I joined seems to have the mentality that I'm a member, I have friends here and I know how to fly so why should I care about you. I know thats sad but its the impression that I get. Anywho...should I venture to another distant club, or check out this farmers field or play out the club I've joined for a little while longer. Being new to everything its not easy making decisions on what would be best. I here from people on rcuniverse and just going to club websites how much the club is a part of their hobby so I take it that if I'm not happy with the hospitality I should look elsewhere...I just don't know. What do you guys think?
