RE: Where to find an experienced pilot???
You say there are no flying clubs anywhere near you. If this is the case, where are you planning on flying? If there's absolutely nowhere for you to go, and you want to learn on your own, get a Realflight G2 Simulator and practice, practice, practice. For the most part I don't really suggest going this route, but it can be done. Your experience with R/C cars will be useful for the mechanical aspects, but not for the actual flying.
