WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK THE CHANCES ARE OF LEARNING TO FLY RC ( weather it be fixed wing or Helis) WITH NO EXPERIENCE AT ALL AND NO HELP???
And on top of that never suffer even one crash in the process??

I haven't read everything else yet, but I am sure good advice followed.
Don't try it. I consider myself talented, crafty, etc. When I got my first plane (Hobbico Avistar) my friend who is an AMA member asked if he could help teach me. After watching him take it off and trim it for me, I realized that I would never have made it. I might have even hurt myself, someone else or damage someone's property.
If you want to teach yourself, go with a GWS Slow Stick or GWS Tiger Moth. I have the SS and I believe it would be a good trainer.
