Dont forget: Proper alignment of the club and a good "tiger woods like" grip !!

To the initiator of the thread. Loose your ego, as with golf, if you have learned something by now, it doesnt go well with the sport. Besides most of those old guys are pretty cool and have good stories (often long though....)

I know that sometimes the club experience can be a nightmare but also know that there are a lot of really good, caring guys out there that really want to help newcomers. I had such and experience and it saved me time and money but mostly frustration. Actually is still saving me!!!!

Not having a helping hand in this hobby can hunt you for quite some time. For example, lets say you are extremely lucky and perserverant and you learn to fly your trainer. What happens when you want to move to a more advance aerobatic model (ALSO MUCH MORE FRAGILE AND EXPENSIVE) You will need some help a the beginning, trust me since one if very different from the other................. and your mistakes will represent much more $$$$$$$$$

Anyhow which you luck. Buy some company shares in ZAP, you will be buying toons of supplies.

Peace
