As Winnisquamer said, these are made to be very user friendly and easy to fly. It has a "beginner mode" built in that will not allow you to fly outside a 100x100' box... Definitely a good place to start. And I agree that flying over an open field is the best way to start getting acquainted with the sensitivity of the controller and responsiveness of the drone.
On another note - get used to looking at your phone/ipad/etc when flying instead of looking at the drone itself. Trying to steer it while looking at the drone in the sky can be disorientating and result in a crash (don't ask me how I know that).
You can also change the remote control settings to reflect whatever you think is the easiest/most sensible set up. For example, the left joystick can be set to control forward/backward, and side to side movement while the right joystick controls altitude and left/right turning or vice versa. Go with whatever feels most natural to you or whatever will be easiest for you to remember.
After your first couple flights in beginner mode you will have enough understanding of how it works to venture out a little further. And then you'll be addicted like myself.
Happy flying!
