RE: Beginners Tutorial
BBOwen,
Get with someone in your area who is a qualified Instructor/Builder and make them your mentor. Stick to them like glue and learn all you can. Winter is here, so maybe someone will get back on a tutorial.

RE: Beginners Tutorial
You should check out the sticky post at the top of this section which has got lots of information on possible beginner planes. You should also check www.gettingairborne.com which covers a lot of ground on starting on the hobby.

RE: Beginners Tutorial
I understand your logic, but a ducted airfan, or jet of any type, isn't really best airplane to learn with.
You really need to start with a trainer or a beginner type park flyer. If you have no access to a club I would suggest getting a slow and stable park flyer.
