Was just wondering if there is an easier way of doing this or a better way?
Yes a much better way. type in your zip code here:
http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubsearch.aspx
and find your nearest club to seek real hands on help You are in need of a hands on mentor without which your chances of success are very slim. You can research untill you are blue in the face but that will not change the fact you will need local help.
Get Help

I agree with John, you really need to find some assistance. We had a young fellow bring over an Alpha to our club and he had some of the same issues. His prop would fly off, would lock up on the washer, could not get the engine started, etc.
Before the second trip to the field we were able to get him airborn and actually had him buddy boxed and flying some simply circuits. He has not soloed yet as it was close to winter, but his plane is ok now and he is working on soloing this year - unless he does not come back. Some times young folks lose interest and move on to other things in life.
You would do well to get some help and I assure you, for the most part, it will save you some big time dollars and you will enjoy this hobby so much more! I still have my Alpha 40 from over three years ago because I sought out some help.
