Rapid, there are tons of clubs in the Indy area, please save some time and effort on your part by seeking them out, visiting them, and finding an instructor who you are comfortable with. Also check in the events forum here, there is an indoor fly session scheduled most Saturday nights (I think) in Indy. Go there, meet some people who can fly, and make yourself known. There is no substitute for a helping hand in R/C aircraft. I find most of the fun of R/C is the social aspect. Maybe you will also!
Your choice of a trainer is a fine one, just exert some patience, know you will make small errors, and almost no errors cannot be fixed (except perhaps making two fuselage sides the same instead of mirror images (don't ask how one knows this!)
Good Luck, and enjoy!!
