If you're doing this as a one time lark because your uncle gave you a free toy to crash and forget, have at it. Buy the cheapest stuff you can find, crash your plane and get out. It won't take much of your time. If you are wanting to get into the insanity as a lasting hobby, the one thing you don't want to go cheap on is your radio gear. Save your money to buy the very best you can afford, then instead of buying something, same some more money and buy something even better. You can go cheap on your airplanes, field and support equipment, whatever, but not on your radio gear. If you do and stay in the hobby, you will end up with countless transmitters that may or may not work and they are difficult to store. One good radio will remember settings for many planes and is easy to store, charge and keep track of. We all hope you get in to the hobby in a big way and for a long time, but for a one time thrill, forget it.
