X-Pink,

I can give you many reasons as to why you do not want to train yourself and I will always try to talk someone into joining a club. Now the reasons are many but OK, you've accepted the fact the you MAY crash.

Now can you rebuild it back to flyable condition?

Are you able to tune the engine to get peak performance without running it lean and destroying it?

Do you know how to trim a plane for flight, what way do you move the sticks when the plane is coming at you and you want the plane to turn right in relation to the plane, not you?

Do have have the money to possibly purchase a completely new plane and engine after the crash versus to 54 buck for AMA and lets say another 50 buck for a club membership?

Most decent trainers with easily cost the same amount as the AMA and club dues put together and we won't even go into the cost of the engine/servos/receiver which all total could easily be close to 300 bucks, and a host of others.

As was already mentioned it's great you are asking. Do yourself a favor and at least take the plane to a local club and start talking to people. Sooner or later you may be asked if you have it with you. Say yes, go pull it out and tell them what's happening, my guess is it will be fixed quickly and someone may even take it up to trim it out for you. Ya never know but you may even make a few friends while you are there. Mot all people in this hobby are quite friendly and more than willing to help as long as they can see that you are willling to put forth the effort to try. We do see allot of people come to train, learn to fly a little and then go try it on there own and destroy the plane.

At minimum get a simulator and practice practice practice....and do what you are doing and ask tons of questions.
