I'll make the same suggestion that I make fairly often here, and that is that Bobsav get himself an Ugly Stick and an instructor along with a 6-8 channel 2.4ghz radio and get to work. Sticks can be nice and tame for training, they can be set up pretty wind if you want, the are excellent in the wind, and (often most importantly) they are easy to fix. Yes, they are ugly, but all trainers get ugly with time!
