There you go blindguarden... Don't let anyone get you down from
doing something that you want to try!!! Teaching yourself is an
option, a lot of people have, But most the time it will not be the
best option due to the cost and it can be very dangerous even if
just to yourself.. So if you do pick that choice... Be as safe as you
can!! IMO Before taking the above option. I would continue going
to the field every chance you get and express your want to who
ever shows up at the field, But just start a normal conversation
first then work your way to.. Can you help me :-) Another option
is call your Pres. again and ask him, since you said for me to teach
myself, Do you think one day that you plan to fly can you just give
me a few pointers so that I have less of a chance to hurt myself or
others... I'm not sure what all the circumstances are at your club,
and maybe in the near future it'll all change.. But I would seriously
consider another club, Being close is super nice... But...
And I really like your thoughts on not letting others go through what
you are going through!! When ever you can make a change do it for
the better!! Good luck!!
