I appreciate all of the replies that various RC Universe members have posted. I agree that this thread could have had a better title, though "Rant about getting started" was all that I could think of at the time. Furthermore, I agree that I could have been a bit harsh on criticizing instructors, seeing as though most usually will go out of their way to assist a student. That being said, most of the time plane promlems (I will not buy an RTF again), weather conditions, and lack of guaranteed transportation hindered my learning schedule. It seemed that every time I came out to the field something prevented me from flying.
I am also inquiring as to whether or not any beginner park flyer ARF or "easy to build" kits exist?
