Fly or Die,

Find a local club and an instructor. Click here: [link=http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubsearch.aspx]AMA Local Club Search[/link] and search by zip code, city, etc.

They will help you with tuning the engine, help explain the terms that you may not know, etc. They are an invaluable resource because they teach you more than just flying.

Good luck!
