Started flying, what fun

[cavpdx]

Hi Everyone, good to be on this forum. I'm here in the Portland OR trying to get this flying thing down...

Real quick about my experience with planes is that I started with the Champ, moved to the Radian Pro and finally have a SU-26. I made a mistake purchasing the Radian as the plane doesn't fit my flying style. I'm pleased with the SU-26 so far and find the ailerons challenging. I'm taxiing in the wide streets around us and am trying to control the plane at less than 5 ft.

Please pass along a local Portland OR flying range if you know of one that is open to foamies. I'm looking for a group of laid back people that I can learn from and have a great time sharing this hobby.

Welcome to the forum. Check this club page out. On page 9 there is a listing of clubs for Oregon.
If ever I was to be evicted from paradise, Portland would be on my list of places to live.
Good luck in your search.

Welcome, That Radian Pro is one Sweet looking plane. I bet it would ride a thermal very well.
