I would suggest you put both planes away {they are both nice} until after you get with one of the local clubs and find yourself an instructor. Both of the planes are very advanced and nothing for a first time pilot to be trying to fly. I'm sure there are a few clubs around you there in the UK and most clubs offer flight instruction. There you will learn aircraft set up and you will know or find out what it is you require to get these two planes back into the air. The Pitts is a very advanced stunt plane and not something to learn with. The Pup isn't too much farther behind it. That's the best advise you will get. Don't even bother with them until after you have soloed and have a lot of stick time or you will regret it.
