RE: first plane
I was much like you when i first got into the hobby, I wanted to get myself a plane and get right into it without waiting for the process of meeting new people and joining a club. One day at the fling field I finally talked to a guy and he agreed to help me for the first few lessons, it didn't take long, two flights to be exact to fly solo. It really doesnt take long to learn to fly a trainer, they litterly fly themselves almost. If I were you, and i am not, I would get a ARF trainer, there are so meny great trainers out there, you can even buy complete combos where everything you need less field equipment is there. Go down to your local flying field and the people there will be more than willing to lend a helping hand. The people in this hobby are great people!
