I have the champ and I believe most of the information you are looking for is in the manual. I am at work right now, or I would check my champ and let you know. From your pics it looks like your rudder is leaning to the right. I would move the rudder so it is centered on the wing, and not leaning to one side or the other, and then I would use some foam-safe CA and put a small drop on the side of the lean. This will help make sure your rudder stays in the correct position. The Champ is a great littel plane, and people have taught themselves to fly using these ultra-micro planes, but I would recommend you at least talk to an instructor at a local field if you haven't flown before so you understand the basics of flight and flying a model airplane. I have been using my champ to teach one of my daughters, and she was able to do most of the basics, in calm winds, after only a few flights and some basic instructions while she was flying. I don't think you can use a buddy box with the champ so it may be difficult to get instruction through the normal methods. The champ is almost indestructable as long as you are flying over grass, so I wouldn't be too worried about damage, but I would keep a bottle of foam-safe CA handy so you can repair the occasional break or crack that can occur from crashes and hard landings. There are many forums and threads devoted to the champ on the internet. Just search under Hobby Zone Champ and you will find a lot of good information. Have fun and enjoy flying
