Chequeredflag: good luck mate - and welcome aboard!
You really can learn a lot here on PPRuNe: don't be afraid to start a thread and ask a question - there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers! Seriously, over the years I have had hundreds of questions answered and it really does help to be able to talk over things that may be confusing or worrying you along the way.
Make sure you let everyone know how you are progressing!
