Hey Wemic! I wish you success and a bunch of fun! I would go with what others have said concerning a computer simulator - one of the best investments ever! I STILL use mine when I want to try something new. The Sensei electric was the plane I started on - foam is a bit easier to repair than balsa (I went through quit a few sticks of hot glue). And yes, by all means, get with an instructor and a buddy box - you cannot go wrong here!

Now is the time to fly! Good luck!
