RE: Big troubles in small town.
One other possibility while you are waiting for ananswer it so get a simulator like GREAT PLANES G3 and practice on your PC, takeoffs are fairly easy except in a crosswind, flying becomes easy when you can control the plane in the roll attitide when it is coming at you (ailerons are reversed) and landings are usually the hardest until you conquer the reversed aileron thingy and don't land too slow at first ( causes tip stalling sometimes) . AND if you crash on your PC there is no repairing, just push the button and start over...
