This gentleman has continued to embody the self-contained, resourceful, "I can do this on my own" hardy individualism. No club instructor or club needed here. The joy is in taking off, flying for a few moments until it gets too far away to know which way it is going, crash, look for the wreck, rebuild, fly for a few moments, and so on. As the safety officer at my county run club field, we have "plug and play" r/c'ers come out all the time. "I'm happy to help you with that", I say to them. "Takes about four hours to learn". "Ahhh, I can do this. I don't need anybody's help" is the response. It's going to take off, roll to the left, and crash" I say. "I can do this, I don't need any help" is the reply. So, the plug and play takes off, rolls to the left, crashes, the newbie picks up his destroyed toy and never returns. Time for an r/c helicopter or car now.... LHS's and Tower loves these folks.
