If you're serious about learning to fly, and you're willing to spend some time, I recommend:

You have to realize these things are not toys that you get from your local KBtoy Store in the mall, slap some batteries in, and give to your 8 year old to fly around the house. You need to treat them like the full size brotherin. That means some flight instruction is in order for all you n00bs.
Hope this helps.
