A couple of things.....

1st. Find a local club. They will have a flying field AND instructors (at no charge ).

2. The plane you purchased is not a trainer and a new person to flying should not attempt to fly it. Without flying experience you new plane will have a lifespan of about 30 seconds (or less).

3. While people have taught themselves to fly, it is a VERY STEEP learning curve (not to mention expensive ). An instructor is HIGHLY recommended so that you not only learn to fly, but learn properly (no bad habits ).

4. A simulator will help you, BUT IT WILL NOT TEACH YOU HOW TO FLY. I STRONGLY suggest getting a simulator. FMS is a free download. All you will need is a cord from your buddy box port to the serial port of your computer. You can make your own or check EBay for cords (typically around $15.00 )

Among the multitude of other things you will need are:

extra glow plugs (I suggest OS#8 ) AND a glow plug wrench

extra props. For a 40 engine I suggest a 10x5 or 10x6 prop. Since you are new to this I will also suggest the Master Airscrew brand (MAS) These are a black prop with a square tip. The MAS props are a lot more tollerant of prop strikes, and because they are not as efficient as an APC, the plane tends to fly slower (while you are learning slower is better).

6" adjustable wrench

needle nose pliers

Phillips screw drivers (ideally a #1 and #2 tip, but you can bet by with just a #2 tip)

medium blade flat screwdriver

set of "Jewler's" screwdrivers for adjusting the engine and other fine work

A "chicken stick" or electric starter (plus a 12 volt battery if you go with the electric starter )

glow ignitor

Glow fuel and a fuel pump

medium fuel line tubing

30 minute epoxy

medium ca

There are a lot more items, but these will be needed to assemble the plane and fly it.
