exeter is absolutely right. Even if you've flown REAL F-4s, you won't stand a snowball's chance of flying even an RC Trainer without help.

This is NOT as easy as it looks! It's not hard, but there's no "Stop" button. Once you get in trouble, your plane will find the ground very quickly.

Check this link for a club in your area, and go visit them. They will be happy to help you, and may even have a trainer you can try out.:
