Default RE: Where can I find instruction on how to fly?

Wo, did I give the worng impression. Here's what I'm up to:

My Multiplex Magister is on the way. I got the Magister model for FMS and have been flying, flying. Two weeks ago the local club had a fun fly and I went, and met the guys, great bunch. One guy 85 years old been flying since they invented RC. I got a Supercub and though electrical failure was the cause, I watched that puppy destroy itself into parking lot asphalt in my first two trips. Fortunately I got my money back cause of the electrics, which I'd called the shop and Horizon about the first time. See the supercub forums for many other similar problems with Supercub electrics. Even if they had ailerons I wouldn't go back. Even if they weren't made of bear cooler styrofoam that breaks on impact.

I don't want this to happen to my Magister so have already arranged, absolutely, for sure, certainly, without fail, to meet with somebody from the club out at the field the first few times for some help. I need to find out what kind of buddy box to bring if they don't have one, I see them going for 10 bucks on ebay.

But, I have as I said been trying to fly a Magister in FMS and keep having the same darned mistakes happen. I can see where it is really going to help to solve a lot of problems in FMS first. So THAT is what I was seeking help in. I see from my original post you guys thought I was taking my plane out and spiraling it into the ground over and over . Hah, I'm laughing heartily right now. Nope, no way, not going to go it alone on my new hot rod. Besides hanging with the club is half the fun. I'm just an impatient guy who wants to know everything right now so am not likely to hold questions til the next time I visit them. Thanks for all the sage advice.
