Surly thier must be a flying club near u ??? the whole aspect of this hobby to me is about the club feel..... you can get unlimited helpfull advice from clubs and much much more........ and all for free you just have to ask......... I think if u want to stay in this hobby JOIN a club and grab the benefits, like INSURANCE !!!!! and someone who will teach you how to fly....... i think youve just been lucky to get away with it this time, next time who knows...........

This is a great hobby and wish you the best in it....... but think twice and go somewhere safe and learn to fly properly and not just cross your fingers and wish for the best.........

http://www.flyingsites.co.uk/ lists most of the clubs in the uk, hope thats of some help........
