Hello and welcome to RCU,
As you can see even though you said you are not asking for advice you are going to get it anyway.
We just want to see you succeed and enjoy the hobby. Won't be much fun if you total your plane completely after only a few flights.
I agree with the above posts, get with a club and take advantage of free training (at least most clubs offer free training) baring that a simulator will pay for itself if you insist on going it alone and can speed your training if you do get an instructor to help.
