To the OP.
If you are thinking of sticking with this you should look at a RTF package that has a decent radio/transmitter which will allow you to use it for more than just that particular plane. Most planes come with a very basic transmitter that is limited in features and can't easily  be used for other planes, helis .. You can start with a decent transmitter in a RTF package and always upgrade it later, or you can start with a more advanced transmitter now and then get a plane. Something else to think about !
