If you have never flown any rc plane, don't justgo to the park and crash one. Without having any rcairplane experience you should atleast know you're talent level. If you arenot sure of certain things, seek help from an experiencedpilot and ask him/ her/ them to helpyou if you are not certain, reguardless of the airplane. If you feel you can fly it, I say go for it. I'm a self taught pilot and it is possible to learn rc without an instructor and have a 0% crash ratio. Know your limits and do the homework, you'll be fine.
