I just finished building my Showtime 50. I would STRONGLY suggest that you do not use a Y harness or servo reverser. If you do not have enough chanels on your reciever, get another one.
Also, the Showtime is a HIGHLY aerobatic aircraft and takes a high skill level to fly. As Piro stated, you would be better off getting a trainer, throwing your gear in that and fly that for a while. Then when you are ready, you can put your gear back in the Showtime.
Also, When building the Showtime, make sure you re-inforce the main langing gear. It is very weak. I pulled mine off on a landing a couple weeks ago and took out both wings. No pretty....but I will be airbourne this weekend again!
