I think you are missing the point of this thread. People are purchasing these small RTF Park Flyers and without guidance running out to the largest available space and throwing that new aircraft in the air. There are a number of possible outcomes ....hopefully he has a good flight and gets hooked on his new recreation.....or after launching his aircraft it flies out of control and crashes .....or possibly before crashing strikes somebody who was watching from the sidelines.

These new pilots will not think of waiting for your club to hold a fly in. If we can get our hands on some of these newbies before they run out on their own we might help the newbie become a pilot and possibly someone who can help others or point them our way for assistance with their start in flying.

Our approach is based on affording the introductions on a Saturday morning but if contacted by an excited newpilot yearning to get started we might try and meet up sooner.
