David I will go a bit further than the other posters and say the chances of you realizing your dream of flight with that airplane are virtually nil. First off I beleve that kit was designed back in the fortys it was strickly rubber powered free flight and built very lightly which makes it a very challengeing build even when flown rubber free flight, It in no way could be considered a beginners project to both fly and trim for free flight.

In the early sixtys when the first 'mini' galloping ghost proportional systems hit the market that old kit was enlarged slightly to supposedly use those systems which consisted of a rudder and elevator which wiggled continually but allowed you to move the wiggles back and forth (ailerons were just a dream). There is a possibility that more recent years production it was improved somewhat however it remains a tough project to build, fly successfully and is, as before no way a newbie project. Also keep in mind on a ship like that for any chance of success modern micro servos (read expensive) would be required.

Do yourself a favor and built it as a neat static model and to learn building and if you really want to learn to fly do as ctshaynes and Montague intimated, get a proper trainer and build it if you like then really fly. The success ratio of most of those old Guillows models as RC is very small indeed.
