RE: Beginner??? Probably!
Oh,
One thing: there's a product in the UK called a HAL autopilot (HAL2100 I think)
The basic idea is that you fit it to the bottom of the aircraft. There's an array of photo sensors that can detect the horizon. If you get into trouble, you release the sticks and the autopilot levels the wings for you.
They are about 35 bucks I believe.
Even if you're not too bothered about the financial side of crashing, at least it will save you repair time!!
