I agree. If you absolutely have no access to another rc pilot who is willing to spend some instruction time with you, get a computer simulator to practice on. Unless you are gifted I give no chance of taking off and landing unscathed your first attempt. Probibly not the second try either... learning without instruction is frustrating and costly. Most quit the hobby after the first crash.
RC cars do aid in overcoming the control reversal associated when the vehicle is comming toward you. Left = Right. Driving (or flying) away from you right is right & left is left. Driving toward yourself the effect is reverse. A trick I learned and still use when taking off or landing is to turn my shoulders in the direction of travel. This seems to switch the left right thing in my pea brain and my thumbs automatically move the stick the right direction.

Look up other potential pilots in your area here on RCU. There is a search tool that allows you to see other regestered users in your area. I'll bet there is someone regestered here that could help you learn!
