RE: new to flying
I suggest finding someone with experiance flying model electric planes to check all your things over well and hep you learn to fly also. Do you have a simulator so you can get experiance and practice. Thats a very important part of flying that even experienced flyers use to stay sharp.
You really need helpers to work with you getting started at least until you solo. Half the fun of this hobby is being out with others. I finally found my Friends" and even though they are 25 miles from me I have their support and thats priceless.
