It's a very difficult thing indeed to fly successfully for the first time if you have not had any lessons or used a good simulator.

However, if you really have to, you have, at least, chosen a model that won't be too demanding and will be very forgiving.

One thing you really must know and practice as much as possible is to automatically know which way to move the ailerons when the plane is coming towards you. A good rule is to 'move the stick towards the dropped wing'.

That is, if you see the right wing drop (that is, the wing that looks like it's on the right in relation to you) when it's coming towards you, you must move the stick to the right to 'prop up' the drooped wing.

Having said that, you really must try to get help for the first flight. Even the best pilots today simply did not have the 'finger memory' to react quickly when it became necessary.

Getting a helper who can fly will almost certainly be the difference between a first flight that lasts a few minutes or a few seconds.
