It isn't unusual to hear about folks who have been building and flying RC airplanes for most of their lives. While it's true that RC can be addictive, and the friendships that develop may keep us coming back, something else must compel us to put so much time and energy into aircraft that are destined for hard landings and even total destruction. I think that "something" may be that there's always a new experience to try: a challenging maneuver, a bigger or smaller plane, a tail-dragger, a sailplane, a state-of-the-art power system ... the list is endless! Having worked on Model Airplane News for 20 years now, I can vouch that even when the best of the best in a particular field get together, they're asking questions and learning from each other. For our "Getting Started" feature this month, we got our contributors together to answer many of the "newbie" questions that we're asked by folks who have never flown before and even more experienced modelers and pilots who want to add to their skill set. From battery charging to choosing a first kit to radio programming, we've got your "Getting Started" answers here.
