If you have just started, I can understand your confusion, but there's much more ahead of you in learning to fly model Aircraft.. In your statement you mentioned you don't belong to any club.
That is your First mistake when trying to learn to fly a plane on your own.
Join a club in your area, many people in this insane hobby, (LOL) will give you advise and save you a lot of money in the end. Please don't fly any plane by yourself. If something happens, prop strike, or whatever, if alone, you are in big trouble my friend.
Get an instructor that will help set your plane up correctly, get the throw's right, check the balance, etc, plus he has already been through this process, he know's what you need and don't in beginning to be an RC Pilot.He should also tell you to join the AMA, for Insurance purposes.
It is a" must have" card to fly at any sanctioned R/C Field.
On the wheel's issue, itis thestart of a minor expense in this hobby. You will have more, many more expenses as you will find out later.
