This is a great idea, but, I think more help has been accomplished via this site as far as building and finishing.  The flying does need a one on one meeting.  I can still remember having someone check out my newest plane way back when I was one of the newby's.  On the third plane I was told that I had enough experience and just do it.  I have lost count of how many I have helped thru the years.  Even soloed a brother and sister in one afternoon with my Ringmaster.  All they had was one of the plastice Cox planes that don't fly off grass too well.  DOC Holliday

I think that there are some really important things regarding building that would translate much better one on one,, say proper care and feeding of a spray gun? I could set you up in my shop, and in about one hour teach you more about what to watch for and how to make adjustments than can possibly be translated CLEARLY in written word.
I have to say this is a good idea.
that being said, anyone in my neck of the woods is welcome to any knowledge I have, uh, but not many around here, still all the same, I am here, with 25 years experience in painting and custom finishs,,
