Hello All,
I'm a newcomer to the FT community and to the RC hobby. I've been in aviation all my life but just decided to finally get into the RC hobby. I'm currently putting the final touches on an FT Explorer scratch build and I was super excited for the maiden. So today I decided to figure out where I will make my first flight; and that's where everything went wrong. I realized there's pretty much nowhere in my area (North Metro-Atlanta) that I can fly. All public parks I can find say no flying. There is an AMA club that's relatively close to me but I would have to pay around $200 to join and start flying. I don't really want to invest another couple hundred dollars in a hobby that I still have no experience in.
I'm really just looking for some advise (and maybe some encourage). I don't really know where to fly. Apparently I live within 5 miles of 3 airports. I can't go to any parks. I'm out of ideas at this point and running out of motivation.
