Done...and thanks again for your help. I'll post a video here of my maiden flight, so that everyone here can have a good laugh. Per your suggestion, I am going to get a more noob-friendly plane to learn on before I fire-up the Catalina. You suggested the EZ Hawk, and I like that plane. However, it seems to me that I should wait for the Hawk Sky (the 4-channel version), which will be back in stock in 2-4 weeks, and is only 10-bucks more. The way I see it, I can ignore the rudder for the first several flights, but then I'll have it when I'm ready to graduate to that level. I value your opinion, so let me know if I'm missing something here.

Thanks again for your help. Hopefully this thread will be helpful to noobs will similar problems, thereby saving you some work.
