height is your freind, especially when you are first stating out. You can train yourself! It is not as easy as finding someone that knows how to trim out your plane and get you started. Be prepared for some more frustrating moments. Sounds like you have the desire to make this work. You will have some fun stories to share once you get the feel for it. FYI.. it took me at least 3 planes and a few dozen temper tantrums before I got tha hang of it
