Back in the summer of '53 I taught myself to fly control line. It took me all summer because I had to spend so much time chasing dinosaurs out of the flying circle. As a result, I fly holding the handle upside down in comparison to almost everyone else. My point is, if you are going to teach yourself, first do some research and see how everyone else does it. I may, some day, take up some parkflier-type RC. If so, I will find an instructor.
