I got into RC back in the late 80's after buying my 1st ARF when they first came on the market.I joined a small local club. I ended up getting elected club president . After getting the club back on its feet , I was able to finally solo in 1995. I started off with a club instructor, but due to him injuring his back my learning to fly RC was put on the self for two year. I ended up going to a RC flight school and finally soloed, ans later returned to my club to earn my solo status.
Since my solo status , Ive bougt a Sim and try and fly one a week.
Almost 10 years later Im flying Intermediate status and flying a EDGE 540. Still like the ARF's, because it doesn't hurt the ego when you ding them up. They just need alittle more TLC when accembling them out of the box.
