Thank you to all for your replies - I'm already feeling like I have some better ideas about next steps, and I appreciate the heads up on the demo version being an early version. I figure I'll get out a notepad for some of the terminology, and maybe get my brother to give me some tips on flight controls since I'm finding that although I'm now actually using them, I'm super inefficient since I'm just sort of pushing buttons until I seem to be going the right direction (I hope that's not how actual flying works!). In any case, your welcome and insight is very much appreciated.
