Youch! That crash looks painful. I'm a beginner as well - I've been a member for about 6 weeks and it's a really friendly club. Everyone's been willing to offer advice and help. There's almost always an instructor there on weekends. I just showed up at around 9AM, asked around for an instructor and did that for 4 visits before joining. I received instruction from 6 different instructors which was great because each has their own style and tips to pick up.
I see that you're a Mode 2. Most of the instructors are Mode 1 but some are 2's, so you should be OK. What TX do you have? I'm a 2 and had no problems getting hooked up, so it's probably a non-issue anyway.
I have a Bixler 1.1. There's a few Bixlers in the club - at least 2 or 3 Bixler 2's that I'm aware of, and a couple of 1's. You're in good company.

Thanks all! Sometime in the next few months I'll pop in. Things are a tad busy at home though right now. Looking forward to getting stuck into the hobby though.

Hey everyone, my name’s Christian. I’ve been pointed in the direction of this club via the RCGroups forum. Live in Seven Hills and have been flying quads for a couple of years. I just recently ventured into the world of planes and got a Dynam SkyTrainer, so I’m looking for a good club. This one seem perfect, I live 5 mins away from McCoy Park. I will drop down there over the next few weekends (providing this rain goes away) and take a look and introduce myself in person.

G'day Christian, good to see someone else with a Phantom in the hanger.
They're a friendly mob here and you will learn how to keep that plane in the air. I'm in the same position as you, learning how to transition from 4 rotating wings to a couple of stationary ones.

well i am officially a member now yay!!
I am looking for someone to buddy me, i have my own plane Parkzone t-28, i fly mode 2 a DX8.
i don't get to fly as often as i would like as i have two little brats and mommy is a nurse so she quite often works weekends reducing my flying time :-(
If there is any instructors here that would be willing to help me get my wings i would really, really appreciate it a lot.
I would love to get out this weekend if possible, late morning on Saturday (my son has swimming lessons first thing in the morning), or possibly Sunday morning?
Look forward to meeting more members down at the field.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Just registered and I hold the current 'noobie' status down at the field. I'm in the process of joining so I'll be hopefully catching up with most of you in the coming weeks, months and beyond.
Happy flying!
Nathan

Hi Wayne nice to hear from you, what do you mean about an MAAA heli instructor to give wings tests?
Do the helicopters and the pilot need to be approved ? Do you guys still have the heli practice area down at the airfield..I would love to come down tomorrow but I'm unwell at the moment so hopefully next weekend..
Regards Chris
