I noticed you said you wanted to start with electric planes, that is fine. There are many electric trainers on the market that fly just as good
as a nitro plane. However the warthog isn't a trainer, it has no self righting characteristics, most of the Nitroplanes models like that are
underpowered and are a handful to fly. The radio equipment is sub standard, and after trying to fly the warthog you will be left with a
bad aftertaste of the RC hobby. I will also reccomend a club and an instructor, success is never gauranteed but the chances of damaging
your model is greatly reduced, and the chances of early success is greatly increased.

However if there are no clubs in the area and you are going to have a go at it yourself the Hobbyzone supercub has taught alot of people
to fly on their own. It is not a 4 channel airplane, it has rudder, elevator , and throttle. the newer version that I linked has been nicely
upgraded since the plane came on the market, It includes a 2.4ghz transmitter, and a lipo battery. the transmitter is basic but can be used
in other models down the road.

Here is a more advanced (and more expensive) trainer, 4 channel, lipo. Comes with a very nice radio that can be used on other planes in the future, .

This is a wood conventional trainer with electric power. comes with top of the line equipment, and is very expensive. you would need to buy
batteries, They reccomend NIMH batteries, but a 4cell 3600mah lipo powers this plane great. I would definetly not reccomend this type of
plane if you are not going to be instructed because of its wood construction and semi fragile nature. The only downside to this plane is it comes with a
72mhz radio. That may change when it comes back into stock.

I have flown all 3 of these planes and all fly very good. Good luck and keep us posted on how you progress
