Mike - thanks. I'll report back where in that spectrum I fall!

Does anyone here recommend practicing taxiing and short hops (1ft off ground) etc by myself?
Yes, taxiing is good practice. However, do yourself, and your new plane, a favor and do it WITHOUT THE WING!!! This will prevent any unexpected flights, perhaps when you panic and move the throttle to full instead of idle.

By the way, it's great to see orders being placed, even if they're made, cancelled and redone, all in the couple hours I was in the shop working on my new plane. [X(] You'll be in the air in no time. I expect to see some pictures soon!
