RE: Teaching yourself to fly
Me and my dad taught ourselves how to fly. We started off with a 2-channel Firebird, then a Sky Scooter, Soarstar then an Avistar. We crashed and burned the Firebird, sky scooter. Soarstar has some crashes but repairable. But the Avistar is still good. Never Crashed. But this took a lot of money just to solo our first gas plane.
