RE: If you are new to RCU--READ THIS FIRST!!!
I remember suggesting to the RC Admin folks during the lead up to the new site if we couldn't have a beginner tutorial. Not on how to build, break in engines, or anything R/C related, but one on how to use the site to your benefit. I was one of those that when I began, had problems finding answers that I sought. Everyone that was already here have been a great help, even some on this thread, and I thank you for it. However, it seems to me that when you register you should be directed to a page that has much of how to do's on this site. If there is one now, I am not aware of it...and I never did get a response to the original suggestion. Funny as it sounds there should be a forum on beginners on forums, not just beginners in R/C.
