I hear that this is a great plane and looks like you've got a decent package.

If you are going to be self taught, which I will not recommend, go with the EasyStar from Hobby Lobby. Although it's not built to be a 4 channel plane, it is MUCH easier to assemble and be converted to ailerons without much problem. It is really a very stable flyer and one I have given to newbies with minimal instructions and they have been able to fly it once it's in the air. I just sit on the side and yell "Right!!!! LEFT!!!!" when necessary :-)
