although it is not "inevitable" that your gonna crash, im gonna agree with Chuck, you need to go to a field and find a trainer, and do it the right way.

i did exactly what you are wanting to do and did it, but i had no choice, i live out near Death Valley Ca and there was no way i could afford to drive 60 miles to train,buy the fuel and plane and i had a perfect place to do it, i did buy a electric 3 ch to master first and flew it till it quit (about 100 flights)

go get and instructor unless you are rich and invulnerable
