RE: Beginner Lesson Learned! Your right, you DO need lessons!!!
I always felt a bit sheepish calling the guy that taught me. I finnaly realized that he REALLY wanted to help. Helping was part of the hobby for him. He knows how to fly, he knows how to build... teaching is another part of the hobby.
IN FACT... he seamed almost a bit disapointed one of the first times I went by myself and did not call him...
