Default RE: Go for it!!

Again. I'll say, I'm a beginner, so I guess what I'm saying, to some of you doesn't mean squat, so then don't read what I have to say. For all the rest of you. I am learning on my own, taking my time, along with practicing on G2, a very useful tool. It is possible, just read above posts. BUT if at all possible to save time, money and aggrivation, at the very least have someone out there the first time to help you trim your plane and get flying. I thought since I taught myself how to build, set up, and fly RC helicopters, planes would be a breeze. Not so. 2 completely different animals. You can teach yourself if you're half way intelligent, but if possible get some help, at least the first time. Also if you do try and learn on your own, Please be miles away from any kind of house, car, and most important, people. RC Helicopters & Planes can be a great deal of fun, but they can also be extremely dangerous. Thats why the guys who suggest a trainer, are so insistant. They don't want you to hurt yourself or anyone else. At least thats why I think they are so insistant on their advice.
