HI!
Flown the real thing eah.... but haven't flown R/C....And you are going to try it out on your own?????!!
You must be joking!!!![8D]
If you try your self you will crash immediately...well maybe 10 seconds or 15 ..but you will eventually crash!
What you shall do is to get in touch with a R/C club and get help from an instructor

Regards!

You can try to look up more on the AMA site. www.modelaircraft.org

use the club locator section. You can use your knowledge of your area or Yahoo Maps to figure out distances. Good luck. Time for me to go home for the night.

AMA did not list club in Nevada. May not be affiliated. You would have to track them down on your own.

thanks bruce!!!
I know I have seen kids flying .40 sized aircraft around snob hill.

Maybe so, check LHS or with kids. Get COMPETENT help, worth the drive if need be.

LHS????? whats that??

LHS = Local Hobby Shop

ohh, my LHS is 2 hours away. then for the distance I could choose from 3 shops

OUCH!! Know anyone local that flies? If you contact the club, they may know of closer LHS also. Worth asking? You could always move? Probably not.

closer LHS? Not likley. I used horizon hobbys shop locator to "search" for hobby shops in MO. and this area is pretty secluded. the shops are all located in springfield and surounding area and branson. they indicated a shop in joplin but I don't think they are any better than the springfield one. Im really better off ordering for horrizon or towerhobbies web sites.

I guess there is always Kansas City. Might make a nice weekend trip for you and girlfriend. Kill 2 birds kinda deal? They always like to go places. Anyway, that's just just for LHS. You have Stockton not too far for a club. You should be able to make do for a while. That moving IS sounding better. Tower and Horizon are OK too, just keep a note pad handy and list things you think you want. Group it together to keep shipping costs down.

just called that club and they sound nice. they don't fly to often but it sounds like they are nice and they say there is a guy in town who likes to go flying as well. So if they get a good day to go flying they will call and I will prolly head off to hang out with them.

Great, you're on your way. Keep us informed on your success.

Bruce

went to teh club the other day. it started to rain as every one was getin warmed up. we tried to get teh dang thunder tiger engine to start but it was to cold and would not "stay" started. guys at the field said they had never seen an engine that tight!! makes me wonder.

Theres a club in Ft. Scott also. Joplin has a new hobby store and Joplin RC hobbies has quite a bit of plane stuff. My G/F bought me a xtra easy 2 rtf for Valentines day. Just thought I would let you know
