please bob like minnflyer said do not try to fly this plane by yourself if you have never flown before. With being a newbie and the planes first flight without being trimmed by someone who knows what they are doing will be a large overload to you trying to figure out what is happening and how to control it. Couple this with the fact that you can not pull over to the side or hit a pause button to figure out what you are doing or to get reorientated on a plane that is heading toward you will cause all sorts of money problems to occur. Those problems are from mundane like needing a new prop then escalting up to you need a new airplane and maybe going beyond to you just hit someones car. I am not saying you can not learn to fly alone but that it might be cheaper in the long run and more fun instead of the 30 sec flight followed by the one week repair.
