RE: Who has taught themself?
hi, i to am self taught, i learned on a nexstar. i played with the sim for awhile, read up the manual to set it up right. then went and found a really big field. the first few flights where shakey, and i broke a few props on the landings. but i slowly got better and now i haven't looked back. since then i've bought a few other planes and fly all the time. so your not alone in being self taught, though it is harder and probably cost more in parts(from rough landings or crashes)but it can be done.
