Hey mate, welcome to the forum, and welcome to the hobby

There are a couple of places for you to begin. Firstly, I think you've gotten off on the right foot, buy watching flitetest and asking questions.
now the 2 options you can go with would be to get yourself an RTF plane like the bixler from hobbyking, this has the option of being a stable plane, very little effort goes into putting it together and getting it in the sky.
Or you could go down the route of starting off with scratch building. if this is the case I'd suggest starting off with the FT-Flyer. its a great stable little plane. the benefits of scratch building is that you know the whole airframe, so its easy to repair when you crash.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, you will crash. Everyone crashes. when that happens just hang in there, your next flight will be better.
To help you out i'd suggest getting a simulator, its much better to crash in a simulator than your actual plane.
As for getting into FPV, hold off on that for a moment, focus on learning how to fly first, then you can start playing with all the cool toys the hobby has to offer
Do you have a preference for which way you'd like to go? are you the kind of person who loves tinkering in his shed building all sorts of things, or are you really not handy at all, and would prefer minimal construction?
