I am an adult now at 29 years old. As a kid i always asked santa for an RC plance, but never got one. I just joined RCU to reseach getting into an RC Nitro car for me and my soon to be 7 year old. He likes the kmart rc truck we have.... but its slow, and the battery doesnt last long, and is never charged when we need it.

ANYWAY,
Of course it was only a matter of hours before i started looking at RC planes as well. And i see there are these relatively large "rtf" trainer planes at reasonable prices. Now i always thought this hobby took thousands and thousands of dolars to get into for some reason.Is it really as easy as buying a rtf trainer and a simulator to go with it for around $300-$400? Can I really only spend $400 andget my foot into this hobby?

I know this is a vauge question..... but i really have no clue about any of this stuff....... but i feel my wallet shriking already!
