Welcome to the world of RC flying!!
Hopefully a mod will sticky this thread ;)
As this is the Beginner Q&A area, let's get a thread going with information on how to get started in hobby! kind of a "which I had known this/done this when I started" kind of thing. I'll kick us off:
I would HIGHLY recommend you watch the following web-series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COiN...1vn-sjBGOkJFHV (if this link doesn't work, look up "Flite Test Beginner Series" on YouTube)
This will get you into the terminology & basic understand of how an airplane works, as well as the basic components of an RC model. It will also give you a How-To tutorial of starting from scratch learning how to fly! GREAT group of people, and wonderful information!
Also, get with the AMA!
This is another great resource, and will provide the do's & don'ts of RC flying. There are rules for flying, and you can get yourself in trouble if you don't follow them!
They also have a list of clubs in your area that you can get together with
Hope this gets you started! Any other veterans want to chime in?? :D
