RE: I DID IT!!First solo flight, well first flight period
Awesome !!! A club is certainly not required. I crashed within three turns of my first flight with an instructor.at a club. Ran from the club and been soloing CP helicopters on my own ever since.

My experience is diametric to JetMech. No club, no instructor, no one but me and my aircraft..........I flew 8 packs yesterday and am charging to go when the sun comes up this morning. I already knew sticking my hand in the prop was dangerous so I was ahead of the curve.

RE: Discussion on the auto stabilation trend....
[quote]ORIGINAL: edgeflyer hope I am wrong, but like ABS and traction control etc.... They are problematic (ASE Master certified mechanic) and I worry that it could be hazardous to the well being of our sport. [/quote] ABS and traction control have saved far more lives than they have hurt. It is the hotdogs who think they can brake better and have more adept throttle control who bad mouth them. Just like the jet jockey who thinks stabilizations to augment control where seat-of-pants input is absent on a screaming 100 mph jet turbine......they are better than that. Right.

RE: Discussion on the auto stabilation trend....
[quote]ORIGINAL: edgeflyer No, not at all, and yes I did expect a post like this. My concern is that it will be non optional equiptment in the near future, But hey some of the guys I really listen to on the board seem to really like it, so maybe I'll have to try it before passing anymore judgement. That was the whole point of this thread to get input. I'm not too concerned about people who are going to try to pick a fight. Thanks to those with open honest opinions. [/quote] Yet you label it from the outset as unprofessional crap ? [quote]ORIGINAL: edgeflyer This topic is a little out of place, but since I reguard turbine pilots as generaly the most professional, and best pilots in the industry as a whole I thought it was apropriate here. I also see it affecting our models (turbines) shortly. Is it just me, or is anyone else annoyed by the latest auto pilot crap.[/quote] The majority of real jets and helis have some form of auto pilot and fly-by-wire electronic aided control. You're really not very "scale" without it.

Model plane flyers will be more concerned about lynch mobs at that point, than any legal mumbo jumbo. At that point, even NRA advocates would be willing to throw RC models under the bus.
