The rules of the club should help you out . In general you should walk up to behind the pilots blocks off to the side . Then ask if all pilots are ok with your take off . When they all say ok then you have the right to aproach the run way and take off . Alway listen for pilots call dead stick or a emergance landing of som sort.

For a beginer I would suggest you have a spotter. This gives you an extra set of eyes and ears.
Plus if your spotter is an older club member he can help you with field rules. With more than two planes in the air I think everyone should have a spotter. later daveo

Landings have priority over take-offs.
'Dead stick' landings have priority over landings. (And any other called 'low' manoeuver)
Only taxi onto the runway when is clear to do so..
And above all else, curtesy rules. Watch teh other pilots, and see what they are doing. At any decent club, the pilots should be calling out their intentions.. Fly / taxi accordingly, just call out your intentions, so people know you're on the runway..

First obtain the pin or other identifier used at your field before you even turn you xmitter on. Only start your engine if you are not on the same channel as someone else at the field.
Second announce in a loud and clear tone that you are about to taxi. Wait for any reply.
Third announce in the same manner that you are about to take off. Wait for reply if any.
Fourth, when you are about to land announce it in the same manner. Landing aircraft have the right of way.
If you are dead stick you have right of way over all aircraft.
Never fly above or behind the pilot stations. If you lose your radio or control due to electronic problems be sure you call out loudly to every one present.
These are general rules at amost any flying site. There may be others at your field. Check with your club.
Happy flying. These general ruiles are not too complicated and will become second nature in a short time.
