Hey there... Back in the late 60's Early 70's... I picked up this crazy hobby, I pretty much taught myself to fly ( 8 - 10 planes later)
The first thing you need to do is get an instructor... hopefully with a BUDDY BOX system. One thing that will help you with orientation when the plane is coming towards you .... ALWAYS remember to "point the stick towards the wing that is down" This way you dont have to think " left or right" IT WORKS !!! Have fun... I know lots of guys who have quit and sold everything they RC they own.... ONLY to come back a few years down the road and fly again..

NEVER STOP TRYING !

Later...
