[quote] watched a couple of video's on youtube and I'm quite impressed [quote]

One of my lines t the field, usually after augering in real good is, "Gee, but it flew so good on youtube." Lol.

Don't trust the vids, follow the wealth of hard-won advice here. A 25" warbird will be a handful for even an experienced flier, you're wise to wait and fly a trainer. Then have the club hot-stick fly the warbird and evaluate it, maybe hand it to you for a couple laps before he lands it. Good luck and have fun!
