RE: learning without an instructor
My biggest problem with going to a club and learning to fly is that it is very expensive. I first have to join the club, which is somewhere around $50. Then I have to join AMA, which is not cheap either. All of this to have someone watch me when I fly and make sure I dont do anything stupid. I have a large field by my house and that is where I will fly, not at the club. I just wish I could pay someone $20 or something like that to help me improve my skills. R/C is such an expensive hobby.[8D]
