I dont ever fly alone. For a couple reasons, I have been flying for about a year and have heard about and seen some nasty scars. I have flown with no other piliots at the field but I always bring somebody with me just in case something should go wrong (which I hope it never does happen!!) I think rc flying is not just about flying but its talking to other pilots and having a good laugh. I am still in school so I really dont have time to fly alone but during the summer the owner of the LHS flies one wed. so I go out on wed. to fly.
