I learned to fly on my own but that was on a slow comet 60 size bird but it only had motor, rudder and elevator this wing was 75 inch long build to fly on a sail plane. I flue it into a hanger. in a tree, more than once, hanger roof, and a tomato field. But I had a whole crop dusters strip to land on and I remember a couple of times having to walk that strip to bring the plane back, and on a hot day the plane would not land unless you shut the motor off because of the lift, and this plane weighted 8 lbs. made out of plastic foam and plywood. So it can be done but you need lots of room and the right plane for slow flying to keep control long enough to learn what you are doing...
