Sorry, used Unreal a little bit a long time ago!

Hello All!
Attempting to use the flying template. Two basic questions. 1. I need to substitute the pink ship I imported for the blue one that comes with the template. What is the easiest way to do this? Will all the animation have to be redone? 2. Speaking of animation, at a first glance, when I hit play, the ship just rolls forward until it collides with one of the big blocks. What is involved to get it flying?

                                                                               Thanks much,
