You have local help all around you in Missoula. Believe me, if you really want to learn to fly, the local club members will be very happy to offer training, advise, and opinions to help you out and guide you. Of course, you can still decide to smash up a couple of park flyers on your own first. Just save these numbers for once that course of action starts to frustrate you later. Good luck!
