Default RE: Crashed my first flight

Hi chasni
Welcome to a great hobby. Learning to fly can be very difficult and I suspect that many drop out of this wonderful hobby after they crash and crash and crash. That is sad. I learned in 1972 and was not even aware that there were R/C flying clubs. I just knew a friend who flew an R/C plane and I asked him to help me learn to fly. I had 2-3 short lessons from him and then learned the rest myself. I still crashed a lot but my friend had given me the confidence to believe that I could learn. Like anything else, some people learn to fly right away; I did not.
