RE: Where to fly?
I joined TRC, it is a great club(in my opinion), big runway, lots of different types of airplanes and nice to beginners. I went to another club(Chesapeake Flyers) first, a local club, was very unfriendly to beginners...I went to them telling them I was a beginner and I wanted to get into the hobby and I was treated like I had the plague...so I did not join that club.
I have a very good experience with TRC, very friendly and helpful in my opinion and they did not ream my plane or me, they were very open minded about the plane, they liked the plane and the plane has flown 20+ times with them.
