RE: A newbie inviting criticism of his plans
So every reply isn't negative:
You picked a great plane to start with. It is forgiving to fly, and tough. It is also from a quality brand, meaning parts are available, and things are likely to work right.
Second, great move getting a simulator, and a quality one at that. Though no substitute for flying, it gets your fingers moving in the ring direction with decent reaction time.
You may fly it fine, but chances would be better if you had help.
You may find hooking up with a club or informal flying field wasn't a bother; that the social aspect of the hobby can be a big part of the fun.
P.S. I'd wait for pretty calm days for your first few flights...
