  1. oh bye the way got hold off new phone no. for local club ,going to ring tommorrow after work ,let you know how i got on.
  2. hi all thanks for you comments ,been reading learning to fly alone very interesting thread. one for you though Eric if i may as i mentioned before i love i.c ,but going electric what do you recommend ? as a lone flying plane only to be flown in isolated field away from major roads houses or pylon's ,was thinking park-zone spitfire after watching many u tube clips,but sort of changed my mind .now thinking protect swinger as described in rcme i liked what the article had to say your views please also ,what sort of money would that set you back i liked the 20-30min flight time perfect for lunch breaks . thank you for your time ,much appreciated
  3. oh thank david i looked up about Sky 40 (i.c. or electric) very good but i was wishing for more information , beginners i think don`t know about what to buy ,the right type of glues ,it was only the adverts on ebay i found out about what type to use for balsa wood "still don`t know about what is good balsa or bad balsa? i don`t . Don't get me wrong i thing you and everyone like you who give up there time to answer sometime by your standard very stupid questions,but i and all beginners are very grateful money can not buy this type of information so a heart warming thank you. i wish the magazine `s would dedicate one page to this ,silly question asked by beginners ,for most time for me anyhow to much information is just more confusing .
  4. hi david i`m all new to this.i`m also very shy to meet people when i don`t know them or when there are a group of people i go all gibberish's if you get what i mean. i wanted to take up flying for years but never have till now.what really interested me to make the personal push is ,the deagostini spitfire magazine yes i know all the off putting write ups about it , to exspensive, hard to fly ect,ect. but it`s  very informative step by step guide and everything and all the differant products  given to you it aloud me to get to know the different parts of a plane about the radio ,frequencies and all. so for that i wish experience modellers would stop rubbishing that type of forum that was in the magazine. because of that i was more confident going in the model shop asking questions. who i find very of putting unless your spending money " i interpret there approach as they can`t be really bothered other wise " any how i brought a ready2 trainer and all required equipment . gone down to the local flying club they have a chained gate about 1 mile from tarmac..so you can`t get on to invite yourself. i have been on the net got information , sent off the relevant forms with cheque for £70 and waited . one month later i cancelled cheque . the address for sending form is over 15 mile away. and to shy to go around as not really the done thing to strangers. " i you read this sedge moor flying clud then please email " so i went on a days flying at a flying school won`t say which one , but found to be a bit of a rip off as instructor was more interested in smoking than  i payed for 1 days tuition £230 for 6 hour ,and only flew about 2 hour 30 min so won`t be doing that again. also brought phoenixrc simulation very good ,would recommend to all like me. i am now saving for electric instead to fly in the local fields .as a beginner i do and preach the safety regulations that come with the hobby ie noise ect,ect. so my views are still exited and can`t wait to start flying properly .hopefully with tuition? love the magazine bye the way buying if for years. oh also i am 43yrs married ,kid mortgage  ,job and all that stuff. so please especially the shop owners be more happy and cheerful when someone come into your shops and don`t be so demanding on the proper jargon being use by us it`s very intimidating and it does keep us away.
  5. hi all just starting to biuld mine after years of collecting and finaly geting all the parts yippee. i read some of you have upgraded the ailerons,changed the engine,stiffened the wings,changed radio, my question is ,,,is there a spitfire that is original to the magazine contents that actualy fly ???? and if not what you would recommend i change first ??...  to all with previous experiance
  6. so many of us wanting to take this hobby up why not something that will actually get started even if not for us beginners then for the kids to do. a very simple trainer it will give us the building blocks to do more theres not enough for us beginners
