Greetings from South Carolina :-)

As far as anyone telling you that the best way to learn how to fly is to simply go at it on your own sounds like POOR advise and I am sorry to hear that your club is taking this approach in not putting forth the effort to assist you in learning how to fly.

Have you attended any club meetings to bring this matter to the attention of the club officers?

If it were me I would make trips out to the club field and get to know someone that flies on a regular baises and ask for their help in learning how to fly.

Our hobby is not self taught no matter who tells you this.

We have made too large of an investment in our hobby to just go out an destroy our models.

For this very reason is why I took it upon myself to put together a training package so as to aid the new pilots in learning how to fly.
