RE: The most common beginner flying mistakes
I have a link to post with a 'trainer's guide'. I found it on the internet, and it's been a great help with the flight simulator, and, it also helps me prepare for when I finally get some training, or solo without training out of frustration...

OK, so I'm a newbie, and I've never flown yet, outside of RC Plane Master, but I've spent so much time on the sim that I feel like I've been doing it for years. I haven't had the joy of 'the shakes' yet, but I'm ready for it.
Now if only I could get someone at the local club to show some interest in training me. It's ok, cause once I get my AMA info, I'm going, and if no one is there to help me, I'm soloing the first time out. It costs a lot less to buy a new plane ARF, than to buy all that radio gear and engine (which may survive a crash while landing). I know how to control a plane really well thanks to the link above. Call me crazy, but I have $500 sitting on a stand in my house doing nothing, and it's not moved for a month and a half. I got so frustrated I was taxiing in my 30 x 30 back yard yesterday!
