I checked out the suggested planes for beginners. What I want to know is how difficult these things actually are. I have no access to training, nor do i have any excess of cash. is there something fun out there that's fairly tough and easy to learn without help? Not that they equate, but certain dynamics of sailing and flying do correspond. I grew up sailing dinghy classes and fly several HP kites and foils. I imagine i'd pick up the rc plane thing easier than many starters. not trying to be big headed here. obviously i am aware that i need to learn things before diving in, that's why i'm on here. i'd like to spend time w/remote controls. Cars don't interest me that much and planes seem to offer a bit more than boats do.

you all probably despise people like me, but i'm curious about two bottom lines. How much investmet (money and time-wise) would you all estimate for a plane that a beginner can have fun with once or twice a mont in a field outside DC with.

what about laws? i'm sure this has been posted previously but i couldn't find any threads regarding the legality of flying rc planes. Can you fly one of these things wherever there is room? That would be nice, but i tend to doubt that being the case.

In advance i thank yall and have a great day doing whatever it is that makes you happy.

ps- if any of you all need tips or suggestions on saltwater fishing pretty much anywhere in FL let me know. I just might be able to help ya out.
