Radio wise, depending on your budget you might look at Specktrum DX6, DX7 or DX8.

There are a lot of bind and fly planes out there for Specktrum. I find them easy to program, and hobby king orange rx Specktrum compatible receivers are a cheap option for little foamies.

An Apprentice plug and play, a Dx6, a couple three 3s3300 batteries from nitro planes or hobby king, plus a 4 bank charger wouldn't be a bad way to start.
