I would just like to say thankyou for all your input and say that I did find a great guy named skip down at a feild called Whittier Narrows air field. They were the best guys I have ever met. Skip helped me to get my engine going but couldn't due to fuel problems. he did let me fly his trainer with the trainer cord and since I did so great he let me fly his advanced plane (hell cat) which he did not have a second controler so I flew solo (I did not take off or land on either plane). I did hear someone say "D@#n thats his second flight and he's already on a warbird!" Later my trainer told me "I did not once took control of the plane except to land it." Mod-L-Mania was also a great hobby shop to go to for help.
