Default Hanger and Learning curve

Hello All
I'm a newbie with about 10 solo flights on my trainer. I purchased someone elses planes and tools, and I'm hooked big time. The following is a list of my hanger and also the steps I will take in my flying progress.

Vmar Challanger 40 trainer GMS 46----- 10 solo flights
Vmar Apache 40 trainer, GMS 46 (tail dragger) ---- next plane I will attempt
Great Planes Spacewalker, Super Tiger 75----------- attempt after Apache
Vmar BigBeautiful doll Mustang GMS 61 --------- last one I attempt to fly.

I know Vmar doesn't have the best reputation, but it is what I have. I purchased all the above (Spacewalker NIB) plus tools (field and building), field box, 3 airtronic transmitters and real flight sim for $500.00 us.

What do you think about my progression in planes. Do I have the right planes to progress properly on the learning curve to the mustang?

Also, should I stick with Airtronics or switch to Futaba or Hitech? All my present planes have Airtonic servos and recievers, but my area is not well represented with Airtronics, but has several LHS that supply and service Futaba and Hitech. I can order, just have to wait for delivery.

Thanks Roger
