No disrespect, but it seems to me like you shouldn't be messing with your plane until you get help!!!!
You plane needs to be checked and flown by a professional first
1) Join AMA (its required and a must!)
2) Buy a simulator and practice, practice, practice!
3) Go to a local club and talk to their instructor, he/she will guide you in the right direction and help you
4) Enjoy your new plane

And last but not least, practice, practice, practice. A simulator is a great tool to learn on and will save you a lot of money and headaches in the long run.
