Hi Thank you for your comments. I have a trainer plane that was given to me so I do intend to learn that way first. I went to a club down Devon ( England ) once and they told me you need 4 things to fly

1 the plane
2 the radio gear
3 fuel
4 A BIN liner. This is so when it does hit the ground there is less embarrassment carrying a bag than a pile of wood.

I thought this would stay in my mind and from your comments it may well be right.

As regards the Club close to me I have found it rather difficult to get into the close group and talk. We all have to start from somewhere Bit of a poor show really if you want to get into the sport and willing to hand over money to JOIN.

What sort of aircraft would you say start with as regards learning to fly ???
