If you are dead set on purchasing the Hangar 9 P51 (not a bad choice) ...my strong recommendation is that you purchase a flight simulator. You can probably get G2 fairly cheaply (ebay). Fly the simulator until you can land in windy conditions and make corrections without having to think about left or right when a wing dips.

You will save yourself hundreds of dollars and a lot of aggravation. My feeling is that a few hours of simulator work should be required before ever taking contol of the sticks...period. That being said...a simulator does NOT eliminate the need to have an experienced pilot maiden your plane, trim it out and teach you a few things. Even good pilots can have trouble with a poorly trimmed or out-of-balance plane. Be Safe.
