Your right! the RC pilot that came with me was self thought.
When he started there were no instructors, and you know how it is 8 to 9 weeks is a long time when your addicted to this hobby, as long as your not in an area where someone could get hurt if things went wrong. I went about 35 miles out of the city where no one was around. It's funny but I took off and landed OK and got better the more time I practiced. when I finally was able to get an instructor I did, and it didn't take long to get my wings, I realize that not all is as lucky as I was , but I had a feeling that I could do it, and did, I think it's up to each of us to decide what we should do, as long as it don't jeopardize the safety of others. If your willing to take a chance that you may wreck your plane well it's the choice you take, and if you can't afford to wreck! than don't go at it alone without an instructor. I do believe that getting an instructor is way to go.
That's my story! and I'm sticking to it.
