We also answer some illegitimate questions too..

The best way is probablyh the way most of us learned. Get yourself a reliable trainer (see RC Ken's thread at the beginning of the Beginners Forum). Get someone to help you put it together if you get an RTF (Ready To Fly) or get someone to give you hand wiht an ARF. If you are bold enough, go for a kit. Just follow the build instructions closely and ask questions if you run into a problem.

Next, contact a club and find an instructor and talk to this person and have the instructor take a look at your finished product. He can make sure it's airworthy or tell you what to do to make it so.

One thing you may consider is getting an RC Simulator. You can learn a lot on the PC while working with the SIM.

Stick with the instuctor until you are ready to solo. When you do, make sure you tell us all about it.

Best of luck.
