As WacoNut said, find a club and get some training. You could also invest about $200.00 and purchase Great Planes Realflight simulator, which will be good for getting you the basics, but don't rely on it completely for the first solo flight, you still need an instructor, but realflight will help you greatly before taking on the model you built, and hey, you crash, hit a red button and you got a new airplane, instead of going to the field with an airplane and coming home with another kit to build.

Good Luck!
