They make RC simulators for computers that really make the learning curve much easier to deal with.
I started flying back in 1985 and simulators didnt exist and neither did planes that go together in just a few hours. I spent about 40 hours building my first one and destroyed it in less than 30 seconds, mostly because I was 15yrs old at the time and knew everything and didnt need to listen to the older guys at the flying field that were trying to help me out. My first plane was a Quickie 500 pylon racer.
My second plane lasted much longer. It was also a trainer and I decided to listen to the old guys that knew more than me.
All planes have an expiration date though. Its best not to get too attached to one because eventually its going to become a lawn dart for one reason or another.
