Use a heat gun and peel them right off.

Careful with the heat gun or you'll burn a hole in the covering. You could use acetone and gradually swab the edges of the decal to dissolve the adhesive and slowly lifting it. If I were you, I would leave the decals and focus on developing flying skills. After all that's why you paid your top $$ for an arf

If you're interested in acquiring some building skills, you could get a kit for a second plane and work on it at your own pace. There's plenty of suggestions for a second plane and building tips in RCU, and help is just a click away. Just my $0.02. Good luck !
