On the off chance that this isn't a troll, and you still REALLY insist on learning without a helper present... I suggest you do it the way the early RC'ers did.

First you start with a plane that is basically a free-flight plane, install RC control, and learn to get it to fly & circle, and repair it when it crashes.

Then, get used to that odd situation where the plane's coming at you (as in landing) and you want to turn it the wrong way. Master that, and then the rate of descent procedure, so you actually land. Then you can start on planes without the free-flight characteristics.

That Spitfire, by the way, has no free-flight capability. If you insist on using it first, as the others have said, get plenty of pictures and maybe a video with which to remember it.

The thing that is difficult for RC flyers to convey to the new pilot is the required total concentration on the task. We all take it for granted. We all learned to never look away from the plane, and we learned to constantly make corrections. We are always in preparation for the next turn - which is never more than a few seconds away. Your full scale experience allows you to look around, maybe even read a map while the plane is flying itself, for minutes at a time. If you learn RC flight without a helper present, you will soon be accustomed to never looking away from the plane, and always finding your controls by feel, even the trim tabs. You will also learn that shoving the throttle to full speed and leaving it there is a mistake. (Some newer trainers have low pitch, inefficient props, and air brakes, which give the self instructed person a better chance to get away with full throttle operation.) How much of that relates directly to your full scale experience? There's more, but we take it all for granted.

Most of us are pretty friendly, and some even have a plane we use for instruction, with which we can give you a test drive. It really is worth asking for one.

Good luck,
