Yes, find someone locally that can show you how to fly it.
If you cannot find anyone, then remember the following advice that I got when flying the AXN for the first time;
1. For your first flight pick a calm day with little or no wind. Get some height before turning.
2. Keep your stick movements on the 9x slight when flying the AXN as it responds much better to small control stick movements. When turning remember to allow a little elevator as it will drop in height (unless you want it to).
3. Use the ailerons for turning the plane. There is no need to use the rudder.
4. Hold the controller in the same direction that the AXN is heading, you may look like a spastic especially when it is coming straight at you but it does help you with orientation in turning the AXN (hard to explain but you will see what I mean once up).
5. Buy yourself a back up AXN, include in the order EPO CA glue (super glue) and accelerator for the CA (you'll need this for when you smash up the first one - that's my advice).
I was very lucky as the park I go to has a guy with 20+ years experience (Kurt) that got me up and flying. While I have never used a flight sim program with the 9x I did find my previous experience with Xbox and Nintendo game controllers to be a big help (never thought of this until Kurt brought this to my attention - people brought up on Xbox etc adapt very quickly to using the RC controllers).
