Default Pre-flight check.

Well.

I understand all those messages, where people say that there should be a trainer with me at the time of my first flight. However it's not always as simple as that.

I live at countryside, long way from all clubs (benefit though is my own "airfield", I do have a field to do it ). I also just happened to get interested of rc-models as a kid and found this again by myself just a couple months ago. That means i don't know any trainers, not even one person who does this for hobby.

Lol. One of my friends has a brother in law who has rc heli, last flown 12 years ago, that's all..

If we add some basic things about Finnish people's nature and attitude to new comers in every club or hobby.... Well. That surely doesn't help to find out these guys. Warm wellcome means that you already have 1 - 2 friends in there and therefore they just stare you to death instead of cutting you in pieces with battleaxes.

..err..

I may have added just a little, but you get my point, don't you?

That's why I'm here, asking stupid questions and just hoping to get answers.

I warmly wellcome a Finnish trainer, if I manage to get one, but...

Now I managed to fix the plane. Next test is prolly saturday. If there's someone, who has a tip or 2 for West Wings Fournier RF-4 (or Jamara's ARF which is actually the same plane), I'd appreciate that a lot.

Actually tip to fly any 60" wingspan electric motorglider would do it.
