Haha, you'll be joing the ranks of us where limbs, whole trees, poles, walls, and wire jump or teleport to the place in front of us. Haha, I hope you get it together just fine, if not there are plenty who will help.
Haha, great advice, also if you use ferrite rings make sure to wrap them a LOT more than most manufactures wrap them haha. I swear they put them on for decoration when they only wrap 3-5 times.
If you want a cheap but well built charger I'd suggest this, it will only balance charge (takes a whiles), but doing that your batteries will probably outlast your quad a few times over.
I have one and it does just what I need to do.
I much prefer hobby grade, but the toy grade are a lot more convenient to fly, as there is very little to worry with. I'd say as soon as your comfortable to get a hobby grade quad. The six motored one is a hexicopter, the smaller ones are great for racing, and they give a more lifting power.
30 amp is heavier, but you can't fry a motor using too big of ESCs, you can however fry ESCs using too big of a motor. Unless a device is current hungry it will only draw what it needs in amperage. Switch if you have the funds to spare, or wait to see how it flys.
You can run any program for any OS using a virtual machine like VMware, and many (again like VMware) will let you run it in Unity mode (can't even tell it is running on a VM).
Twisting the wires can be a good idea (just like UTP cabling), but you may also need to shield the ESCs with some foil wrap. I think(and hope) that it is the ESCs as opposed to the rx.
