Ge Force, I still suggest calling a few of the clubs in your area. You might discover that one of the members lives near you and could help arrange transportation to one of the clubs.

However, if you end up going it on your own, pick something slow, durable, and repairable. I recently put together a GWS Slow Stick. I'm pleased with how easy it is to fly and how durable it appears to be. When you are ready to try flying for the first time, remember that you'll need much more room than you think. Small backyards, busy schoolyards or parks with lots of people playing are not good places to try flying. You need lots of space, and you should not be anywhere where you will fly near or over people, cars, houses, etc. Consider a place with long grass, it softens unexpected landings. Set the control throws on the flying surfaces at the minimums suggested by the manufacturer, and remember to not over control when you try flying. Be sure you choose a plane with good spare parts availability, just in case.
