[net.aviation] Starting in R/C Modeling

The Best way to get started in Radio Control models is to find a local
club.  These guys are more than willing to help newcomers. I have recently 
gotten back into the hobby after a 15 year absence.  I join a local group
here in New Jersey.  It has saved me a lot of time, money, and airplanes.
	A good first model is a high wing cabin type like the SIG Kadet.
I put 45 flights on one before it met its end. (Pilot error)
Also, start picking up a mag or two. RC modeler or Model Airplane news
are pretty good.
 
	Good luck,
