You can check out Spads at http://www.spadtothebone.com and also check out the free FMS R/C simulator that is listed on the home page. Down load it and start flying R/C on your computer in a few minutes. Follow these guys advice and join a club. One afternoon at a club flying field is worth a year of time trying to figure it all out on your own. Oh yeah...never forget your ideas and ambitions...if you want it bad enough...ANYTHING is possible.
