Harold-
You're certainly in over your head.
And you're asking the near impossible from us, to enlighten you in nearly every aspect of RC in a couple of posts when you've only given us the vaguest of clues.
You seriously need some good local help that can eyeball what you have and help you cobble something together. Try to get some contacts by way of local RC clubs and hobbyists.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!
