Thank you gents for the great advise....unfortunately that is exactly what I was afraid of. Here is another question....I know of several guys around here that are very proficient with their Edges and Extras. Would it be feasible to get one of them to maiden it and then plug into a trainer box with one of them to get proficient with it? Given the fact that Im not crazy about nitro or electrics, I thought about going to a Great Planes Giant Stick with something like a 26cc, but my interest is in the 3D aerobatic aircraft and scale aircraft. I dont know...maybe patience really is a virtue...need to know where I can buy some of that!

Thanks!
