Thanks guys! I will be using a y-harness as stated in the instructions. I think maybe he was thinking about the ailerons and not the flaps??I'll tell him to shut up....even though I like him...haha. He told me if I bought the plane from him and he trained me....if I crashed it, he would replace it for free....I'd say that's a pretty good deal. And, he trains everyone for free! Good guy, but I think he wasn't thinking straight in this situation.

So...I solo'd 3 times, I've landed about 14 times all in trainer mode (droops, flaps down, 3-blade prop, cheeks squeezing tightly)....how much of a difference would adding functional flaps be compared to flying in training mode?Should I try to straighten out the flaps first without installing the flap servos to see if I can land it?

This is my first plane and Ilove it! I already bought some different size props, flap servos, OS .55 w/aftermarket muffler (not sure which one, but LHSordered it from some guy that makes them in his garage)....just not sure if I should take my time or get rid of the training gear and start modding it??? I can't stop...help me
