i would recomend the hobby zone super cub for your first plane it is an electric plane and comes rtf ready to fly and you dont need to go to a local flying feild you can fly it in a local football feild or decent sized park. you are getting your self into the best hobby you can. it can get expencive at times but it is not to bad but it realy depends on where you want to go with your flying. you dont realy need lessons if you start of with small electrics and then slowley work your way up to 3d electrics and once you have masterd them you should be able to get the hang of almoast anything with a little advice. dont learn on any bulsa planes unles you are taking lesons foam planes are much better to learn on because you can get spare parts for them easily and cheep and they are much cheeper and esier to fix as well. so i will recomend to you the hobby zone super cub rtf it is a great plane and only costs $200 australian. good luck and i hope you get into this hobby.
