HI Trey3670,
hope we didn't scare you away from joining a club,most clubs have there ups and downs, the good really out weighs the bad,at a club a person gets lots of information from existing members,also gets to see a lot of different equiment in use,myself and some of the club members that I've become friends with over the years,will load our planes in the 5th wheel and go to different flyins on the weekends,and different events,seems like at most events I meet more flyers and get invited to more events and clubs to fly at,plus most clubs have cookouts and all types of fun fly events,flying is only a part of this hobby/sport,the camaraderie with all the flyers and people involved with R/C is the best part. Hate to see you miss the best part.
Have a goodun,John.
