Okay let's cut to the chase; the OP has a nitro powered Mustang and foam tricycle gear models won't do much for being able to fly that Mustang.

Here's the ticket and I recommend it to everyone who asks about how to get started if they really want something that'll get 'em going and on the way to bigger or more high performance models. It used to come with a basic flight sim but evidently the newest version does not, however it's RTF, does come with a DX6i radio which should serve the OP well for some time. All he'll need is the ground support stuff for a nitro model and he'll learn something about starting, tuning and maintaining nitro engines. I started with the typical high wing tricycle gear trainer since there was nothing like this available then, if I were to start again this would be the model....
