You are welcome.

Landings are mandatory, but crashes are not!

Three keys for a successful and painless experience:

1) Find a GOOD instructor (he/she doesn't need to be the best pilot around, just a safe, patient and experienced RC pilot, willing to spend hours of practice with you)

2) LISTEN to this person, and FOLLOW he/she directions and advices.

3) Practice makes perfection in the simulator and on the field (get ready to use some serious time at both places)

Besides, don’t rush the process, it takes a different time to each person.
Young kids can master RC flying in no time, old folks like me simply cannot.

Learn all you can, ask questions at your club, visit these forums all you can, since they are a treasure of knowledge.

Best regards!
