When I went to my LHS and asked about flying fields all I got was"go to any park or football field". Not really much help. I was so anxious to fly after I got my EZ Star for Christmas I went to the school down the street and proceeded to learn on my own. The EZ Star proved to be a great learner and easy to repair. I am now on my second fusealage and have had many good flights. The first day out I did have one decent flight but you have to watch yourself making dumb mistakes like operating the elevator the wrong way. I talk to myself: pull = up, push = down. If the plane is coming at you push the stick toward the low wing to get it to level out or turn the other way. I was doing loops and stalls on the third time out and having a blast. It really is a great plane. I get a good 20 to 30 minutes of (slow, low throttle) fly time.
