Another quick note
Lots of good info here for getting started. I would like to highlight again a couple of important points.

1. Don't forget to get involved with a local club. The radio brand they are using for Trainer Cord setup alone can save you a wreck, not counting the other benifits and support.

2. AMA or MAAC (For Canada) is very important, they can help you find a club and you need to be registered with them for insurance reasons and most clubs won't let you fly at their field without it.

Get a plane and have fun.
