I cannot do it for the life of me. How long should I wait before flipping? Does the size of the pan matter? Please help me out. Thanks very much.

you should insure that the white is cooked to the yolk then slide your spatula under loosing the entire egg then have the egg on spatula and slide to one side of pan so you have the center to turn it in now you gently turn the egg over in a slow motion not flipping it... .......good luck ...

Place the frying pan on a medium heat and add oil or butter to grease, whichever you prefer. A thin coat on the bottom of the pan is sufficient. Let it heat for a couple of minutes or so until it is very hot and starting to sizzle. Now you should break the egg into the pan by cracking it on the edge of the pan in the middle of the shell.
Don't let shell drop into the pan or go right through and break the yolk, so when you crack it, be firm but too heavy handed. Once there is a crack in it, use both your hands to break the shell open and allow the egg to come out and into the pan.
You can reduce the heat a bit once the egg is in the pan, and leave to cook slowly, don't be tempted to rush it. To work out if the egg is cooked, take a knife and place the tip into the white a little away from the yolk, and if there is now white sticking to it when you take the knife away, then the egg is cooked. The yolks should start to thicken but not be rock solid.
There are of course lots of different ways of cooking the egg and everybody has their own preference. An "over easy" egg is very popular and is turned when the whites are just about done and the yolk is quite firm.
When you flip an egg, use a spatula and slide it right under the egg, keeping it low down near the pan, and gently turn it over. Cook for about 15 seconds longer after turning.

How To Flip An Egg

I tried some time and it was quite easy to me.
If u spread the egg in a pan which have diameter little more then egg spread it may upto 2 inches. As it become brownish flip it. Keep this thing in mind that it should be heated on low heat.

I do not have a problem with turning the egg. you have to make sure the whites are done enough for one thing.
Instead of flipping it try adding just a few drops of water in the pan and cover it, the top of the egg will steam.

Both response are real good, but I do believe the correct spatula and pan really does make a difference too.
It all works together!
Just practice
