You're getting good advice here, Ben. If you're looking to go the glow-powered route, definitely get a 40-sized trainer and an instructor. Seek out some local clubs and visit them before you buy anything. If you're more interested in taking the electric route, take a look at the GWS "E-Starter" plane.....I would still get an instructor, preferably somebody that flies and knows about electrics. The gear and battery choices can be very confusing with electrics.....also remember to ask lots of questions on here......the only stupid question is one that you ask! Once you decide on glow or electric come back and ask more opinions!
