Everyone suggests an instructor?!?!?!? I have never even seen a real "instructor" I looked and looked and never found an "instuctor" Get a RTF plane, i suggest the Avistar selecet, it its reliable, since it has a symmetrical airfoil you can progress to flying inverted without sacraficing stability. Get really good at G4 then go to the feild charged with everything you need to get flying, on the least windy sunday when there are alot of experianced flyers and just ask someone to help you fly your trainer. THEY WILL. Any way, you will end up with a successful day of flying. By the way, landing on the runway isnt as hard as it is on the sim.
