Default RE: First Time Flyer Needing Help

Matrix11_103,
If you've done any reading here on RCU this may sound like a broken record, but I'm going to say it again anyway. Get an instructor. An instructor will save you so much frustrations and problems. While you have chosen a Park Flyer that is electric, it's still possible to crash and damage it while trying to teach yourself to fly. Using an instructor will keep that from happening. Plus, with an instructor the time that it takes you to learn to fly properly will be a lot less than if you try to teach yourself. Please consider finding an instructor.

Another factor to consider is that with your trying to teach yourself to fly, your radio signal may interfere with radios at the flying field located in your town. At least contact the local club so that you can insure that you are not within radio range of them.

I did a quick search on the AMA website looking for a club in your area and came up with this:
MUSIC CITY AVIATORS
CHARLES WATERSTON
1221 COOKS RD
MT JULIET TN 37122-5707
Phone: 615.547.0829

Hope this helps.
