Hi Rick / @rick.hyde , and welcome to GADC. 
Quite a few of our members also own the M2Z … so you are amongst good company.
If you haven’t already, take a look at the Map of Members and you’ll see there are a few other members in your neck of the woods, some of whom I’m sure will come and say Hi.
(Don’t forget to add yourself to that map : How to add yourself to the Members Map )
The forum’s search functions are a very efficient way to find previous threads and posts that might already have covered topics in which you are interested in learning more or answer that niggling question but, when this doesn’t turn up what you’re after, there’s a wealth of knowledge amongst the members, so ask away over on #questions-and-answers.
Also, if you’ve not seen it, check out our map of places where members have flown in the past … which, obviously, doesn’t necessarily mean they are still OK to fly and, as always, any pilot needs to check that everything’s OK before flying at any of them.
Please also take a moment to look at the Membership Levels section on our FAQ .
Welcome aboard!
Hopefully another member in your neck of the woods will help you out with getting airborne …. but, really, they are very simple to fly.
Find a suitable space, on a nice calm day … take off gently to the height of a couple of metres … let go the controls and it will stay right there!
Small inputs to get a feel for the response … and let go of the sticks … it will stop and hover in the new location whilst you take a breath ready to try again.
Gradually build on this at your own speed, and you’ll be fine!
