I just got my Instrument Rating and am working on my commercial rating. I started with the H9 Arrow. I taught myself to fly it and it is just like you were taught in the big ones. However, orientation is a problem when the plane is coming towards you. Get a plane that will land slow (SIG Kadet Seniorita, H9 Alpha, PT-40, etc....). Remember power for altitude and pitch for airspeed!! You will love RC flying!
