Welcome to RCUniverse. This not a trainer or a plane for a low time pilot, so don't try and fly it after you get the engine running or its life will be measured in seconds. Check out [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4537845/tm.htm]RCKen's list of trainer aircraft[/link] that is a sticky at the top of this forum. Do some work studying what is out there and ask questions. Also look for a club and an instructor to teach you how to fly your trainer.
