yes, there are no clubs here and i fly at the county mixing strip and ive learned everything by myself(sometimes the hard way ) but i have done well i think and have only lost 2 planes in 18 mos.

i do it mainly because the ground here is very hot and there is no shade so the back of my truck is really the only place unless you want to stand out in the sun and i dont, once you live in the desert awhile you really getr sick of the sun
