Boy, you walked into that one...
My friend, who went through "flight training" with me last spring and summer bought a Fokker triplane kit as a first plane. The club president sat him down and explained its life expectancy in his hands (nanoseconds).
He still works on it, but got an Eagle 2 (I have an LT-40) to train on.
The plane you are describing is probably a third or fourth plane...
