Putting a random Austin zip code (78748) into the AMA club finder shows three within 25 miles and nine within 50 miles.

Is your flying buddy a member of a club?

RE: Well newb here
That's the toughest part of the hobby, especially when you're first learning to fly, having to wait until you can go flying!
A good computer simulator like EasyFly2, Aerofly Professional Deluxe, Real Flight G3.5, Reflex XTR, PhoenixRC, or FS One will allow you to practice flying when your schedule or the weather won't let you go flying. It might just keep your head from exploding! I wrecked my Nexstar trainer about 200 times on my PC before I ever took it out for its first flight.
