I am not a real fan of ARFs for beginners (I have some ARFs in my fleet). Yes you will have a bunch of time invested in self built model and yes it will hurt when you crash.
With a self built model you can repair it easily (you built it after all) you can repair it cheap using simple tools and glue.
ARFs due their construction (Yes some are like traditional models) tend be much harder and expensive to repair. Typical wing for a 40 size trainer is $100
ARFs also tend to heavier and make it less forgiving and harder to land.
I have 15 airplanes from stunt specials to 1/4 scale to combat planes. 2 are ARFs. Every single one of them have crashed at least once. I just threw the ARFs away (Midair and other got shot down)
I would definitely say go to a club and hook up with an instructor and use the buddy system to learn (must have compatible radios).
It is a fun sport.
