I still have mine here at home and it still hasn't got off the ground. I bought mine a few months ago and took it home and built it. I havn't even started the engine either. I tried in the garden but it just wouldn't fire. I found out later that you had to join a club to be able to fly after passing tests. The nearest one to me costs about £150 to start off with them then something like £60 a year afterwards.

The man in the shop told me none of this and if he would have i would have waited until i was in a better position to both buy the gear(£300+) and join the club. A bit too much for me all in one go. Maybe in the new year i will get the form sent off and see what happens then. Until then, all i can do is look at it sitting here nearby and wonder if it will ever take to the skys.
