I would recommend the [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHCJ2&P=ML]GWS Slow Stick[/link] It is affordable and includes a motor. However, you will need an Rx/Tx, speed controller and servos. The great thing about this bird, is that there are parts available, in case you need to replace anything.

This plane can handle a few mph of wind, but not much more. That shouldn't be a problem, because your first flights should be on a calm day.

I would also recommend connecting with a experienced flyer to look over your plane. You should be able to find one at a local club. The AMA website has club information. Also get an AMA Parkflyer membership.

I can safely say, that if you take the proper steps, you'll have greater success and more fun! But beware of the addiction!!
