If you're determined to go it alone, please get as far away from civilization as possible and take a friend with a video camera. Sick as I may be, I enjoy a good crash vid evey now and again!!!

Otherwise, like majority here would suggest, join an AMA sanctioned club, talk with an instructor and and learn to fly safely. Believe me, you will meet some extraordinary people who are more than happy to help a newcomber to this hobby. Besides, not only do you get to showcase you're creativity, if for some reason something isn't quite right or you need a piece/part, I bet someone will be there for you.

The choice is yours my friend!!!
