Panic and is everyones first response, don't sweat it. A good pinch on the soft of the nose for 15-20 minutes should take care of your normal nosebleed. I personally haven't taking any R.C. classes yet, but I would assume they could do no harm. There are some more experienced medical people in here, but three books I recommend are: A Comprehensive Guide to Wilderness & Travel Medicine and Emergency Medical Procedures for the Outdoors and Medicine for Moutaineering & Other Wilderness Activities. While the books sound like the "outdoors-only" type, they have great information for most first-aid procedures packed into them. Hope this helps.<br><br>John McIntire
