Any RC Airplane Experts?
JohnVH:
Im an expert, little indoor electrics to turbine powered jets.
Finding a local club is a great idea, whats your nearest city?
As for simple teach yourself to fly stuff, thats difficult, how big of a space do you have? Otherwise what about a quad copter? They make indoor ones with altitude holed and what not now.
Here is a pic of my old 43% 132" wingspan, 42lb, 18HP Yak55sp from when I was sponsored by a few places.

Might be worth trying one of the PC trainer programs too. One of the big challenges with RC is the control reversal when flying toward yourself and even side to side. The PC trainers let you get thru some of the initial (expensive) trial and error period and let you practice regardless of the weather. Nothing will replace actual flying, but it can help early on. Problem is many of them seem to be just as expensive as the cheap trainers people have shared here, but at least you get more than one crash before you have to spend more $

I will check and see if I have one at home still I used to have a cheap one. I also used Dave Brown Sim years ago and enjoyed it.
