BILLS hit 1,2&3 right on the head, then after that the rest of them had real good advice. Building a KIT could be one of the best things you do. I suggest a Midwest AeroStar KIT, it is real easy to build and probably has the best manual on the market, then when you are done you can either fly it yourself ( I would ) or sell it to someone that needs a trainer. If you decide to sell it don't expect to make anything on it --- you can't even come close to a China mans price!!! ENJOY !!! RED
