Paint,

Welcome! The r/c universe is a great thing isnt it ! You're question is one frequently asked. I would advise a few things. Join the AMA and then find a local club. Look for an instructor and/or some other beginners. See what they did!

As far as particulars about planes, I sure many here at RCU will be happy to help you! You better watch out, its addictive you know!

Note: Try learning to use the great search facility on RCU. Just type IN "beginner trainer" or something like that. You'll get tons of info. Happy reading (and flying) ..nine
