How / where to start?

AndyB:
Hi all,

I have just finished a build of a 2m RES glider and need some guidance. I haven't flow a glider in over 20 year and even then it was not RC.

I'm assuming the best place to start is a wide open field with little to no wind and do some hand throws and see that it's all flying straight and that I have my CG setup all right.

Then I would love to move to slope soaring.

Do I need insurance?

Any advice / guidance would be very helpful

Andy,
  welcome, where are you based, it will help with the answers. Send me a pm with your phone number and I can chat with you. It is much easier.

AndyB:
Thanks guys,

@Ralph was very kind and we got on a call and he filled me in on all the info... Probably too much for a beginner to take I'm but I think I know where to start.

I'm really looking forward to getting this glider in the air but I'm afraid I will definitely need some of you guys to help me. Please do let me know if you are heading out and I can tag along and learn the ropes. I'm based in Dublin west btw
