Cross country question? How is it done today?
Buy the best tools that you can afford for the job at hand, learn to use them, and take care of them. Then develop you own rules. some of mine:
1. Never follow anyone with an engine.
2. Land at an airport, especially when flying over un-landable terrain.
3. If you really want to get better go fly contests.
4. When the CD sends you someplace you don't want to go, don't go. This is supposed to be fun.
5. There is always going to be somebody out there better than you, don't let that bother you, everyone has to start at the bottom.
6. I have never flown without a GPS, or two. I'm directionally challenged, so if they quit working I'm going to land.
