I have to agree with Ken's comments. If you'll search this forum you will find a lot of new pilots that bought a plane and tried to fly it. Almost every single one of them have left the field with parts. There has even been one or two that never found their plane!

Find an RC club, visit them, ask questions, and listen to them. You'll find them friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help new pilots. Some even have trainer planes for the new guys so you may not even have to buy one.

When I was just starting out I bought a trainer at the recommendation of an instructor at the field the club owned. I flew the trainer with the instructors on a 'buddy' cord (allows the instructor to connect their radio to yours and take control when you lose control) several times. I felt I was ready to solo so I went to a closer private airport where I hangared my plane and tried to fly. I ended up crashing. The reason was because I had not yet advanced to the point where I learned about tuning the engine, checking connecting rods, surfaces, etc.

The bottom line is that you need to start with a plane that is more forgiving, and get instruction from someone that will not only teach you flying, but preflight and postflighting.

What ever you decide, we wish you the best.

Oh yeah, welcome to RCU. You'll get a lot of friendly and knowledgeable advice from the people here.
