Guys, I recommend instructors, too, but look at his address (Indonesia) and read his post. He can't find one.

Sure4Sure, many people who post here are self taught. Everyone has advice about how to do it without crashing a lot of planes. For one, use the simulator you have, until you can do takeoffs, landings, loops, rolls, inverted flight (all the way around the circuit) and lots of touch and go's.

Then, decide what kind of plane and power you want. Some will recommend balsa/glow, some will recommend electric RTF's, and frankly, you can learn on either one. My recommendation is to buy a good flying plane for the flying characteristics - NOT the crashworthiness. I know people who are self taught with a SoarStar electric (it's like a Wingo, with better power.) Some will recommend a Kadet with a glow engine, and I endorse that, too.

You choose the plane, according to what's available for you. Just make sure you have a big open space to fly it. I recommend you take a friend as a "spotter" - to alert you to people who walk onto the field when you are flying. You do not want to crash into someone.

Good luck,
