Something else to consider if you REALLY don't want to join a club is...

Is there a field near where you plan to fly? Remember, if someone at a nearby field is flying on the same frequency as you, (Note, this happens a LOT) His signal will "shoot down" your plane, and vice versa. You may be flying a little cheapie, but other fliers put a great deal of time, effort and MONEY into their babies, and if you shoot them down, don't be surprised to see people carrying torches and pitch forks come to your door some night. :boxing:
