RE: addiction
Uh oh. 
Welcom to RCU!
Well first of all, i'm a bit envious. Second off, you will need a proper trainer first. The Addiction is a great aircraft for learing 3D, but not flight in general. It was designed to fly at very low airspeeds, on the prop, if you will, but does not excell at "normal" straight line flight. Other models will do this much better, and this is how you will need to learn. I would recommend that you search out the proper power system, servos, radio, etc for the Addiction, but find a suitable electric trainer that can use them as well. This way, you can learn on a decent trainer aircraft (with an instructor to help you trim it out and show you the proper way to set it up, etc), and then swap the gear out to the Addiction when you are ready. The Addiction can be tamed down to be rather gentle, but I you will still require a basic trainer first.
Either way, good luck and happy flying!

RE: addiction
The addiction on low rates with @ 30 expo is very tame. You're first mistake, buying anything in a drunken stuper! do a search on the forum under the 3d section. Bunch of stuff there on the addiction. It is a great fun flying plane, that floats in like a kite for landing. It is a blast to fly, most fun plane I own. I would suggest due to the cost of the plane, save your money that you would normally spend on brew and put in a good motor and ESC. 1600 - 2200 Mah for battery, I'm running a hacker motor and castle ESC. finally get yer AMA card and join a club with an instructor!! Both are worth all the GOLD when it comes to learning to fly as you should. If you decide you can't or don't want to fly it. PM me, I'll buy it!!
It is the most fun plane I own. Fits in any car and you can fly it pretty much anywhere. Good Luck
