Does ARF mean almost ready to fly?
Yes.
Im not so much worried about assimbaly, because my friend who has an airplane will help me out a little, im just worried about crashing now...
If you are shaky on the Nexstar, it's probably too early for the F-16. The typical trainer flies slow and has a high wing. An example is the GWS Estarter. Another one that I've read is good for beginners is the GWS Slow Stick. However, I haven't flown either of these planes, or any other electric, so I can only pass along what I've heard.

In a couple weeks I could probably tell you more about the slow stick, I've just ordered one. I got it to fly in my neighborhood. I live on a culdesac with no traffic. It'll be good for getting in a quick, relaxing flight or two.
