HEY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, when will this thread ever stop ? [&:] Hasn't this thread given this "PILOT" enough information for what he should decide what to do. We have been on here for a couple of weeks now and it seems like nothing has been resolved by the "PILOT" as what he is going to do. Sure looks like he has been playing us against each other and setting back enjoying the show. [:@]

Actually thread is 5 days old and the PILOT (as you use in a perjorative) has set out a specific course of action within it which he is following including building a proper fuselage jig and learning to sheet foam wings. The PILOT has also networked in the scene an hour away and is on his way tonight buy a helicopter / new tx for my property while I build my trainer.

RE: I Dont Have IT
I would not let anyone maiden flight my aircraft until the test pilot and another respected experienced hobbyistin the club airworthinessed my airframe. (RANGE CHECK!!!!)
I would make sure the plan was to then do the maiden trim and land. Bring to hanger for another airframe, control surfaceand powerplant inspection.
I would make sure the plan was then to fly and demonstrate to me the slowest controlled airspeed, 1/4, 1/2 and full throttle, glide, stallsand stall recovery.
I would make sure the plan was single rates set at a mild scale-like throw and demonstrate.
Only then would I buddy box it.

ok
I have to say to build a KIT and loose it is a tough ride......[:@]
If that was the case I never would have made it in this hobby……that is for sure.
So I have a few suggestions for you:
1 - You have a sim (real flight) so you are good there
2 - Get the book, One week to solo, Dave is an AWESOME instructor, best $25 you can ever spend learning this hobby
http://www.rcflightschool.com/Manuals_Page.asp
3 - Get a replacement high wing trainer.....don't listen to these guys who say "Fly a this, or that"....you were spot on with a glow trainer.
4 - get an ARF - You will have it together in 6 hours with your building skills.....much less skin off your back when you scratch it up learning to take off and land in 15MPH wind
5 - Get an instructor that goes over the stuff "Soup to Nuts".....i.e. I know what a "Frequency Control Board" is for, but I started 6 years ago with Spektrum, and never had a FM radio......why? Because my instructor taught everything, including safety and use the buddy box!
6 – Do not give up, fly the covering off that ARF trainer……..do not advance too fast…..learn good form now while you can (i.e. the book will guide you)……
Once you burn 5 or 6 gallons of Nitro move on to a Hangar 9 Ultra Stick, good second plane…
Then buy Dave’s 2nd book, Repeat the 5 or 6 gallons with the Ultra stick
Just like shampoo, Lather, Rinse, repeat
Good luck man, hope you get it, not many guys can build a kit for a first plane, once past the intro, you will go far in this hobby! [8D]

I know ARF is easier but I am drawn to the plans and sticks.
Should of finished the fuselage jig last night but bought a micro-copter and flew.
That little thing is great after I got the TX programed. Ican see being able to fly this indoors soon. No field, club, instructor, HoundDog typesrequired !!!!!!!
Ineed more batteries

PILOT is not listening... building trainer is like polishing bullets. Who cares how shiny? Trainers are nothing but cannon fodder... save the building for something worth while. Assemble trainer ARFs ... 6hrs vs. a couple of weeks.
You have said several things that make me think you are crossing over from GA. RC is not GA.

Actually thread is 5 days old and the PILOT (as you use in a perjorative) has set out a specific course of action within it which he is following including building a proper fuselage jig and learning to sheet foam wings. The PILOT has also networked in the scene an hour away and is on his way tonight buy a helicopter / new tx for my property while I build my trainer.

HEY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, when will this thread ever stop ? [&:] Hasn't this thread given this ''PILOT'' enough information for what he should decide what to do. We have been on here for a couple of weeks now and it seems like nothing has been resolved by the ''PILOT'' as what he is going to do. Sure looks like he has been playing us against each other and setting back enjoying the show. [:@]
