Don't worry about joining a club with the small park flyers.. Just make sure that your flying away from people! Don't fly in any wind!

Another option with the tape is Fiberglas reinforced tape.. It's much stronger.. Also Go ahead and orde a few props, 2 new wings and a new set of tailfeathers... Once your confortable flying the A/c then take it out in some wind, then gradually more and more... This makes you a better pilot when you want to get into glow or buy different Elecs..
