Club member - great!
A couple of models suitable for training - great!
Find yourself a mentor at the club & get as many lessons as you can, over & over again, no one
will ever truthfully claim these things are easy to learn to fly.
Treat your trainers as tools. Don't get emotionally attached to them, if you crash one just buy another ARF & carry on.
Sure, develop your building skills but learning to fly the things is most important otherwise you are just building ornaments.
BTW, how is your eyesight after your accident? May be worth a checkup. I've attempted to train quite a few students who couldn't see!
They did 100% better after a new prescription! - John.
