RE: So far, NOT so good!
Btw, don't get too discouraged. Everyone does goofy things, get's something wrong, or breaks something, some of us even admit to them once in a while.
If you have questions, ask em, as specifcally as you can (pictures help), or get local help. In most clubs, if you ask around, you can find someone who will either come over to your place, or have you bring yoru plane over to theirs to help work on it if you are really stuck.
