Hello Pierre, welcome to RCUniverse!

The two best steps you could take right now are to meet the people who fly near you, and get a simulator. There are several good simulators on the market that are relatively cheap (Under $50 USD)

The simulator will help you to learn, and the guys at your field will be able to help you choose which plane/engine/radio they are most familliar with. Next time you see them flying, just stop in and say hello. They will be happy to talk to you about the hobby.
Hi and Thanks!
I might be able to borrow a simulator from a friend of mine, or just buy one myself
About meeting the guys at my field is a bit harder since I dont know when they fly. And when going there I will need to take my bike, or lift with my parents :P So I think I`ll do some research about when there is going to be ppl there, so I can go there and have a chat with them. Maybe I should look for a e-mail adress to someone (if I find one) and ask him/her when ppl usually flies.
The area they fly at is a part of an airstrip for real private aircrafts, so maybe some of the "real pilots" know something about when there is ppl flying the smaller R/C aircrafts :P

Thx again MinnFlyer

Edit: Just found out there is usually a national competition at my field every fall, just need to know what date, and if it already have taken place.
