yes - it will be my first flight at all - never controlled RC plane before.

The book mentioned the plain didn't have self recovery as primary trainers do. But when I bought it (online) it was mentioned that it is a "nice first plane" so I decided that it would do as a trainer but would be more aerobatic then normal trainers.

My wife said she would help me - if not with flying at least with the trash bag ...

I will go to an RC club near by and will defenetly look for an instructor.

The engine needs to be broken in and they require inspections on new planes. I will ask for help and advise.

The club is at Fremont, CA (SF bay area).

Thank you for the warning.

Wish me luck!
