Thanks for your replies guys:

I've been to an RC club before, thats what initially sparked my interest. I understand that things don't happen in one day, however, I would like to get started on building an airplane, and and in the mean time go to the town club and get some flying lessons. However, I do need some advice for what kind of an airplane to get, maybe someone knows of a good trainer airplane, or of something a little more advanced that's really easy to fly. Since I do have quite a bit of experience building, I think that my main problem will be flying it rather than building it.
