Welcome to insanity Finding a club and an instructor will save you hours of frustration and provide invaluable information. Our club uses Hanger 9 Alpha Trainers that come as a complete package all ready to fly out of the box with a 2.4 spectrum radio for about $350-400. We buy them from our local hobby shop who supports us on learn to fly days. Good luck finding any plane/radio/engine made in the USA.
