When you say there are no instructors around, is it that you couldn't find one, didn't look, or there is actually noone within a hundred miles of you? I am sure I have seen others from london Ont on here. Have you looked at the MAC website to see where the closest club is?

I have seen so many people say there are no clubs around, only to find one really close. I have also seen many taxi and try to learn on their own only to wreck the plane within seconds of lifting it off the ground. You would be better to drive an hour to get help than wreck the plane right off. If you are taxiing it in your neighborhood and it gets away from you at a high throttle setting for what ever reason, what is it going to hit? Are there other kids around where you are running it? What happens if you hit one of them?

Don't mean to sound like a doomsdayer, but I have seen it so many times. Make sure you are doing it someplace where you can't hit anything or any one if you are going to try it alone. I can say with about 100% certainty that eventually you will get it in the air and won't know what to do. Make sure you have the room so when it comes down again, no matter if it is in control or not, it won't hit anything.
