As a newbie to this hobby my learning curve has been vertical and at times looping back on itself but with the help of this forum I'm slowly getting there.  I know I've got a lot to still learn so I'm sure I'm going to be posting more questions here in the future.

 I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has responded to my questions so far, you've all been a great help.

 Through this forum I've managed to find a club in my area willing to take on a trainee, not an easy task as many clubs don't seem to want to take on newbies!  My Irvine Tutor 40 arrives this week and with luck, I'll be up and flying in the very near future,

 Thanks again.

P.S.  Great magazine and web site
