RE: New and having problems
Daniel,
You can get a lot of good advice here, but some things cannot be accomplished using just written words, as others wrote.
You would be better off getting some hands-on help, after befriending some more experienced club members in your area.
Learning to fly, without some simulator time, is nearly impossible without hands-on help.
There are free simulators from some prominent entities, that don't cost an-arm-and-a-leg, that you can download for free and use your own transmitter to fly. Aerofly and GWS are a couple.
You would need to fabricate, or buy an interface, to connect your Tx to the USB, serial, or parallel port of your PC.
Also, since this is the 'Glow Engines' forum, if you can tell us exactly what engine you have (manufacturer, model, cylinder type, Etc..), we can guide you on break-in and adjustment issues.
It is not as clear as it looks, but the right guidance will make it a lot of fun in the near future.
