grasshopper,

Here's a link to the Flying Cirkus thread on reading aresti. You've got some homework to do.

There are several threads in that forum that will help a new pilot.

If you've never given scale aerobatics a try, you might consider starting to practice with the Basic or Sportsman sequence. Some of the hardest skills to master in scale aerobatics are flat and level lines, 45 lines, and straight up and down lines.

Good luck with the practice. It's a lot of fun!!
