I am coming back after being off over 5 yrs. Although I may not need it, I bought a Hobbyzone glasair. It has a "virtual trainer" system and also comes with a4 channel radio. It isn't the best radio out there, but can sure move you along toward a much better one. I plan putting a review on RCU in the beginners section with my thoughts after I fly a couple of times. Would have by now, but the weather just will not cooperate.
