I say agine, and of course it is my opinion and remains so, No One is born with the knowledge and skill that will be neccessary to fly any RC airplane. The Right Stuff is a destructive myth. That skill and knowledge must be acquired somewhere and mentorship is the very best way to acquire that knowledge and skill. Notice I did not use the evil word instructor.
Absolutely that mentorship certainly can come in many forms and thats wonderful but this gentleman has a field and probable help only one mile away which he has stated he only has done drive bys seeing no one and using that as an excuse not to network and seek real hands on help.
His obvious outright avoidance of good advice is most likely to result in the the unfortunate ending that most are predicting.
Then it will be time for him to move on to something else.

Wow, you are really negative and also putting words in my mouth. I never said "I REFUSE to get help". And how am I avoiding good advice? Did you not read All my posts? I went from buying the biggest and coolest plane to now starting with a Trainer and taking it slow. I'm sure we all have seen some amazing thing that sparked our interest and we just had to have it...... For me that is Acrobatic Planes. They make it look so easy...
I just got hit with the bug about 3 days ago...... I Always research, ask questionsand learn before I do any of my hobbies. That is what I'm doing now.
