Default BEGINNERS! GET HELP!

I must also agree with Huber. I've only been involved in flying about a year now. And even though the closest hobby shop has been very helpful, it's about 60 miles away, so for the first 9-10 months, when I wanted to fly, I drove 3 hours to another state to a field were some friends fly. I did this about twice a month because I assumed that since I didn't know of anyone in my area that flew, that ment there wasn't anyone in my area that flew. Well about a month ago, I found some local club info on the AMA site just by chance. Come to find out, there is a local club and a field 9 miles from my house, but I just assumed that there wasn't anything local because I never bothered to look. I called the president of the club and learned that there are several pilots in the club that are more than willing to help with anymore instruction I might need. No one should just expect an instructor to be at the field when ever you happen to go there, if your planning on going to the field and you need help, it's up to you to contact club members and setup some instruction time.
So once again, I have to say I agree with Huber, if you say you can't get any help, your not looking or asking for help.
