I have a condition called macular degeneration, and in effect only one good eye. My training took a bit longer that average, but it has not caused a real problem in flying. I echo the thought of big airplanes , but suggest that if you will be flying a club field that you consult any instructors as far as choice of equipment and airframe goes. A good instructor will help a lot in gaining the right sight pictures for flying from that field, even if there are obstacles like close in trees. If you will not be flying with an instructor, then please invest in a good simulator (perhaps even before purchasing the plane). Dont know what part of the country you are from, but unless its the deeper south you have several months to use the simulator before trying to fly a model.
