Wow sorry for the post at all. Just delete it.
I think what is being communicated in short form, is frequently beginners have a tendency to bite off more than they can chew early in the hobby and get frustrated, some even quit.
This is the case here. With only Alpha trainer flying experience, you've already purchased pattern, warbird, and now considering 3D planes, and only rely upon simulator experience to move ahead. In the RC Combat section, this thread was started also:

I've tried to convince beginners not to get ahead more than I can count. It takes a few crashes for them to be convinced sometimes, if they remain in the hobby. We look over the beginner forum to help people avoid these mistakes. I don't see anything wrong repetition for emphasis, but you're getting sound advice, not criticism.
One more important thread, difficulty with just reaming a spinner is a good indicator of limited experience, so the 3D idea is truly getting ahead of yourself.

These should be put on a shelf,
the Avistar RTF should be flown for a few weeks/months,
and I recommend building your first ARF by yourself to speed up the learning curve.
