Have a look at http://www.marstonairfield.co.uk

Not strictly Warwickshire, but not that far away from you and they're a good bunch, very friendly and helpful.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for that, I will have a look!

Many thanks again,

Ben.

I used a borrowed wing from a friend who's self taught and been flying for years. It's very old and not particularly crisp anymore, but it's flyable.

I'm just spending as much time as possible ground handling with it.

Hi Chris,

That is cool! It is a shame there is not any tutors around Warwickshire (that I can find!).

I will keep searching and will be flying soon. Have fun and let me know how you get on.

Thanks,

Ben.

I had my first flight today! Unpowered, but I was about 10ft in the air and flew a few hundred feet from the top hill of Burton Dassett. Result!!!

Hi Chris,

As a newbie myself can I ask who you did this with? I want to learn!

Thanks,

Ben.

Hello everyone,

My name is Ben and I am from Warwick. I have been reading the various posts on here and getting up to scratch with the basics. I have some flying experience C152 which I really enjoyed but it is very expensive.

My first question really is - is there any tutors in the Warwickshire area that I could get in contact with.

Hope to speak soon,

Ben
