Beginners column
david beazley:
How about a beginners column? Or maybe a "how to start" in C/L. I have been flying RC for 25 yrs and other than an abortive attempt at a Cox P-40 in the early '60's I have no C/L experience. One of the guys in my RC club brought out an old Ringmaster Jr and I was bit bad. I have a Super Clown under construction and a Flitestreak ARF on order. Other than Charlie in my club I am kind of short of info. A beginners column or other such info would be of benifit to me and possibly others. Anyway that's my $0.02.

David, as far as beginners we have all been there. Just post a question and wait for the responses. There are so many ways of doing things and getting started is not being afraid to ask questions. Have fun and welcome to real control(RC). DOC Holliday
Steve Helmick:
You're invited to check the "Beginners and Retreads" page I put on my club's website. It provides info for getting started, but can't replace person/person tutoring. http://www.nwskyraiders.com/beginners.html
Personally, I think Stunthanger already has too many individual forums. It means we have to check out several, instead of one, which just seems counterproductive to me. OTOH, one more couldn't hurt! H^^ Steve
Mark Scarborough:
nah,Steve all you have to do is hit the ""show unread posts since last visit"" link and it will save you all that checking, it will show you sorted out all the posts since the last time you visited, saves tons of time and is quite efficient.
Ward Van Duzer:
David, between Sep/Oct 1993, and Mar/Apr 2000 I wrote an article for the PAMPA Newsletter, "Stunt News" Entitiled "In the Beginning". It wouldn't hurt too much if you hunted down some of those articles. I attempted to write to the early beginner Ty, without insulting the more advanced...proof that I think I did a pretty good job of that was the day that this guy throws his arm around me at the team trials and tells me that mine, was the first article he read when he got his SN. That guy was Bob Gieseke.
Yes, I WAS flattered!
And it can be done. #^
