Hi Eric, Have you tried to make a boot disc directly from XP? If memory serves me right that should be possible. Antony

Hi Roy, On this section you will find a thread called newbies. On there you will find there are a lot of us who are like yourself new to the hobby or returning after a long time (20+ years). No way will any club make you feel inferior or stupid. In fact quite the opposite they will welcome you and help you through to being able to fly solo successfully. Bob above has mentioned a buddy system. What this is is simply you have a transmitter linked to the transmitter the instructor has via a cable. While you are learning if you get into trouble with controling the plane the instructor will be able to take control and save your plane from most disasters (if not all). So go find your local club and have a chat with them. You will soon find a great bunch of new friends. Antony

Thanks Andrew - I think he already knows my wallet is empty as he has already drained it for the wedding - lol

Ops sorry Laurence - I should have said the thread was called "newbies". Sorry about the mistake.

hey guys. Glad to see things are still moving forward. Welcome to the fun house Andrew - sounds like you are already hooked like the rest of us.#I dint get to go flying on what was supposed to be my free day :( My daughter got me to take her on a trip to a National Trust property where she is hoping to work later this year. Wedding plans are progressing fast now. I have to go buy my new suit today. Still the reception is all paid for and my son and his partner have now had a rehersal so no real hitches that I know of. The first of our guests arives on Sunday morning from the USA so that she can aclimatise herself before the wedding. But I shall be glad when its all over so I can get back to flying again :) Antony

same here Antony

Hi Tom - Ive come across this problem before elsewhere - but Ive never yet found a solution to it. Personally I think it is to do with Win XP or even the IE browser but Im sure others will see it just fine. Antony

Simon - just point your dad to this forum - he will get all the help he needs if you just buy him the kit. The knowledge that the good folk on here have will see him through just about anything he is likely to have a problem with. Antony

Hi Danny thanks for the support. The cub - like most other things at the moment has had to be shelved. We are about to reorganise our living space as we have several guests arriving in a few days to stay over for the wedding - all looking for somewhere to rest their heads. Still as you say it wont be long now and then we can hopefully get back to normal. Though if my instructor does happen to be free on the day I am not booked up next week - my plane is readily accesible :)

Hi Tom - I just clicked on the image above to see a large version - yes it does open up but the window is a fixed size and wouldnt let me see the whole picture. Antony

Im missing flying :( Unfortunately these wedding preparations are taking a hugh amount of my time at the moment. We have a rehersal for it on Saturday so no flying again for me this weekend :( Maybe I will get lucky during the week and find my instructor is free on what appears to be my only free day next week :)

Hi Simon, Im sure we can help you on here. First off a couple of questions that others will ask you - are you looking to buy a kit which has everything in it? or are you going to buy the transmitter and electricals seperate? I ask because it will alter what may be available to you. If you are after a kit with everything in it - you will not get as big a choice. but if funds would be available - from your dad after receiving the kit from you - then there are a lot more options open and we have some folk on here that will be able to sort you out with something approprite for his needs. Just to remind you though - you will be looking for a high wing trainer to start with - and Im sure you will get some recomendations shortly. Good hunting. Antony
