Welcome to RC! Its an awesome hobby/addiction. Don't be afraid to ask anything in here. Everyone is so helpful , at times it blows me away. For sure get with an instructor and just have fun. I believe (I may be wrong) last AMA demographics poll showed 3% of the pilots were female. My wife said, She wanted that put on her plane(when I finish it) "3%" in PINK Letters. Hey, long as shes havin fun. Again, have fun, and welcome
