Look, its easy for us to tell you to get an instructor because we can all fly and we have all been there, done that. When someone tells you to get an instructor, what you hear is that this is a hard hobby and full of a lot of hurdles that you have to pass when all you want to do is fly....it IS possible for you to teach yourself.

That being said, find an instructor. This does not indicate that you have to go to a lot of training. But you should really investigate the hobby in your area. You might find that there is a great flying field with lots of people ready and wiling to give you some pointers. This may lead to a lot more fun that simply choosing a cheap electric and flying in the yard. The idea here is not so much that you will be a failure without a mentor but you will get A LOT more out of the hobby for your money by finding friends that know the hobby. This hobby needs that....why....well in a year or two we are going to be telling someone, much like yourself to find a mentor in their area, and they may come looking for you!
