I have no idea how, where to find the programming software, or how to run it..
PLEASE HELP and don't just bash me with "explore the site"
ThankYou

If you've never messed around with programming an Arduino board then you're probably going to be lost as to what to do with the source code. So you need to be Arduino-wise first which is subject matter that's assumed before you do the stuff on this web site. So if you're not already, get up to speed with Arduino by poking around the internet - buy a board and program it, etc. And you need to know how to fly an RC plane. Arduino and RC are prerequisites for doing anything here. I know them but UAV's are all new to me. I've made my plane choice and I'm just now starting to buy the hardware so I'm a total noob here. Good luck.
No bashing, huh? That's going to be tough. ;) Can you post the link that you used to download? When you download the zip from http://arduino.googlecode.com/files/arduino-0018.zip you just run the Arduino.exe . That's it.
Of course, then you'll need to read DIYD and add the required libraries for AP or APM to your sketch folder. You can do it. Read, read, read.
We all started like this at some point (in my case quite recently). It takes some effort to get the grasp of this but you will be rewarded later on so hang on and read through the forum, the manuals, etc.
