You know, I used to live in Long Island about 15 years ago. I wanted to learn to fly RC in the worst way. I kept showing up at a park in Wantagh I think it was but nobody would give me the time of day. So I did not fly RC until I moved to Pennsylvania. Here, I found many clubs willing to teach me and I joined one and solo'd in 3 days and never looked back. Now I am an instructor at our club (one of six) and I really enjoy teaching. Not only because I feel that I am giving back but because instruction has made me a better pilot.

Giguchan, if you want to come to Pa, I would be glad to help you out. Free. You can fly as a guest (must have AMA card) 3 times. Or $50.00 to join if you wanted to. Our club website is www.tcws.org. I know it is a long way but you did mention PA in your post. But I really think you should try and find a club closer to you.

Good luck whatever you do.
Jim
