Just wanted to know how i get started in RC? Is there a book or something i can read?

Once you get it into the air just avoid the ground. That's all there is to it.

This site is better than a book. Seek out a club and take lessons (usually free once you've joined).

Troll.

Whats up Chad ? You didn't forget how , did you ?

Response to the subject line: As I recall from a few years ago, "poorly." The real key, however, is to hire good Lego men as pilots. [For those of you who are new, that's an inside joke.]

Seriously, welcome back! We remain willing to answer all legitimate questions.

We also answer some illegitimate questions too..

The best way is probablyh the way most of us learned. Get yourself a reliable trainer (see RC Ken's thread at the beginning of the Beginners Forum). Get someone to help you put it together if you get an RTF (Ready To Fly) or get someone to give you hand wiht an ARF. If you are bold enough, go for a kit. Just follow the build instructions closely and ask questions if you run into a problem.

Next, contact a club and find an instructor and talk to this person and have the instructor take a look at your finished product. He can make sure it's airworthy or tell you what to do to make it so.

One thing you may consider is getting an RC Simulator. You can learn a lot on the PC while working with the SIM.

Stick with the instuctor until you are ready to solo. When you do, make sure you tell us all about it.

Best of luck.

Actually, I'm going to put an end to this thread. I'm locking this thread.
