Thanks very much, folks!

All suggestions look very helpful, and I 'm convinced your input is really really important to me... Johnnie's three ways rule looks great. I feel confident to take control of the plane with an instructor at my side, an I'll see if there's some club around (Philly area).

It might sound exagerated but my experience with the airhogs was the reason to give it a go and try to make a hobby out of this...I'll be extremely careful for my maiden flight, if I can make a (W)right flight for 20 yards or so I'll be happy, but first I'll look for the instructors. hope to join the pro's (you guys) and earn my wings one day....Cheers!
