Hi Mike: Thank you for the reply. I think I will get up enough nerve to fly it first, and then if I do not crash it then I will re-cover it. I just joined the local RC club here in Montrose, Co. but they do not meet tell Jan.1-08. I am told they have members with transmitters that will connect with mine, to keep me from getting into trouble. I was going to purchase a flight simulator program but there are so many not sure if it is worth it.
