hehehe, yea, first timers, read the directions, I have my own things that I do now that make the airplane fly better, but you are not looking for performance out of this one for a wile, it's a trainer lol. Once you get more confortable you can make some adjustments, but until you get more confortable.
You will need a trainer to help you for a couple of times, since you have the sim time, you should be able to catch on quick. I feel old now becasue when I started they didn't have any sim's lol. Took me three months to figure out just how to fly decently, took me another 3 to take off and land decently. Once you get it, that's when you will start to advance rather quickly, and I'm sure you will.
PM me when you get better, I will get you into another more complex airplane that will be just fun to fly :)

I wouldn't even think about trying to do anything with this airplane unless you have someone with you that knows what they're doing.  With questions like "how do you put the fuel in" I can safely assume you've never done anything like this before.  ;)  A quick engine run can turn into a runaway plane which can turn into chewed up flesh and chewed up bank accounts.  Best to play it on the safe side and let your buddy walk you through each individual step instead of trying to figure it out for yourself here.

I'd suggest getting more rubber bands to hold the wings on.. I dont think you can have too many.  I had the exact same plane and on its first flight, she was flyin along great, then the wings folded up and the plane came straight down from 75 feet up.  $450.00 down the drain because of a $0.01 rubberband failure.  But anyway, congrats on the plane!  :airplane:

Or you can just get a chicken stick. That could be anywere from an actual chicken stick, to a screw driver handle.

Me, for most of my planes, with a 24 inch blade I'm hand starting it. Most of the spinners are  too big for a started anyways lol.
