Why is it a common mistake? I am the only one around this neck of the woods that has r/c anything. I bet 90% of people here have not even seen a r/c aircraft. ...
You answered your own question. If you are pioneer, then you are pioneer. Good for you.
If the assets are available, why not use them. Even tho I don't need coaching or advise on my current flying style, I regularly travel anywhere from 50 miles to 300 miles to meet with some friends and share knowledge. I am the only heli pilot in my club. If I want to advance my skills I have to meet up with other heli pilots.
This past weekend (Oct 12-13-14) I travelled 150 miles one-way to meet up with some friends. Next weekend (Oct 19-20-21) I will travel 230 miles one-way to meet some more friends. It all depends on what you are willing to do.
