Default RE: just starting out bulding from ebay

Flyin40,

Welcome to RCU. You'll find a lot of help here, so ask plenty of questions.
I should note that the plane you got on eBay is no where near what a new flyer should attempt to fly. You need to start with a trainer. If you search here you will see a lot of people who thought they could jump right into a more advanced plane only to have to spend more money for a new plane or repairs. Many just gave up the hobby because they thought they could not do it when if they had had proper training they would probably still be flying.
Please, find a club and instructor before you buy anything else. They may even have a club trainer for you to fly with an instructor to earn your wings.
To find a club, go here:
