Default flying by myself? complete newb.

to start.
i have never flown anything. i bought a 5ch cessna (elec) and have worked out "basically"
what the controls do,how to take off and land. i know nearly everyone says to get an instructor
or even a coach but this might not be an option.my question is am i stupid to take it out by myself.
i am pretty aware that it will crash at some stage, and i know it doesnt take much imput on the controls
as i said the "basics". throwing that term around very loosly. i will take it out when there is ZERO
wind and hopefully learn as i go. i know it wont be easy but has anyone got any imput?
maybe someone who has taught themselves? help is appreciated, thanks.
my other questionthe cessna is a 182 rtf, anyway it has flaps and is brushless lipo.
i dont want it for speed but it has a bit of power to get it out of trouble and lands easier with the flaps?
is this true? is it a good plane to learn on?
thanks heaps in advance, sorry for the newbieness.
