Red L, unless one of the guys on this forum lives close to you my advice would be to ask the local club for the address of a nearby member.. .. .I'm sure that they would be more than willing to help out of hours and away from specific club activities to see you start on the right footing.. .. .Take their advice re sites to fly and insurance.. .. .If you start using your gear within about 5 kms of any regular flying site you could shoot someone down by clashing with their frequency. . .. .Insurance is very important, club cover through the national body is essential to guard against 3rd party claims.. .A model weighing several pounds can do a lot of damage if it hits something/someone doing 50 to 60 mph.. .. .Above all, please try to curb any impatience and seek help through the local club. . .RC model flying is not as easy as it might appear and you last thing you want is to turn your model into a heap of balsa and ply fit only for a bin bag.
