Welcome back, Skeeter.

To begin with, let's start with the plane. You did not say what kind of plane you wanted, just that you are looking for a 60 size plane with good flying characteristics.

I will presume from your post that you have successfully flown the trainers and sport planes, so you may be able to get away with flying a decent "low wing trainer" type sport plane. My suggestion would be for a Tiger 60 or a Four Star 60. Both are very forgiving, yet capable.. however, if possible, the first few flights on such an aircraft should be with an instructor and a buddy box so you get "the feel" back. That plane will easily handle an OS .75 AX which is a great overall engine.

As far as radio systems is concerned, well, gee, there are so many choices. We usually suggest getting one from the major manufacturers, which include Airtronics, Futaba, JR, Spektrum, and Hitec. My choice would be Spektrum or Airtronics, but that's a personal thing. I've flown with all of them so I can say that your choice would end up being a personal one because any of them will suite your purposes. But, I would definitely recommend getting into the new 2.4 GHz technology.

Personally, I own and fly with Spektrum, a DX6i and DX7 radios, six and seven channels respectively. The DX6i is slightly less capable than the DX7 is. Another great recommendation, with a good competitive price is the Airtronics RDS8000 which is 2.4 GHz technology and 8 channels.

From there, well, you can decide what you need for field equipment.

Think about it before making your choice.

Again, welcome back!!
