Ro, here is a link to every AMA flying field in NJ. As far as I know there are no non sanctioned fields. You will need to be a member
of the AMA to fly at these and probably a club member also. Most fields/clubs require you to do a solo test to prove you can fly safely.
Look at the ones that say they have pilot intro. at most clubs training is free and they may even have a club trainer you can learn on.

The other way to get started is to find a huge field and a big bag of cash so you can keep buying planes or repairing after a crash.

I told you in another thread about these clubs. If you really want to find out what this is about and don't want to fork over the cash to join a club yet, wait a few more weeks until the weather breaks, Join the AMA on the introductory program and take a ride down to my area (about a 2-1/2 - 3 hr ride and I will let you fly my nitro trainer.
