I will wait for an instructor. I've got the RC bug bad though. Guy at the hobby store today was flying an electric helo in the store, it was just incredible. So, while waiting on the instructors, I've been flying on the G4 sim at the store. At least I'm getting used to the sticks and I'm learning alot just from speaking to the staff and customers. All that coupled with all the great advice here, I should at the very least be a little less anxious when the time to fly comes. Sunday here in south eastern PA is supposed to be cold, but 8 MPH winds. Tomorrow will be way too windy, above 20 MPH. The electrics do look pretty cool and easy to start, might still get one to have at the house. I have over an acre of property, with lots of room and no nieghbors around. One nieghbor up the street has a sweet 500ft level paved driveway, and I'm thinking Super runway! HA!HA! All I have to do is give him the same RC bug I've got!
Have a good weekend all
