i am sure theres a club around you somewhere, ask at your local model shop.
if you want a small trainer , theres the 'banana' by tissan haifa, for 89 quid it comes with engine and covering , EVERYTHING except radio. its 2 channel, but its a good cheap start.
however, a .40 size model is the way to go.
the first thing you should do is find a club, therell be one, you just need to find it and whatever you do, dont try and fly something on your own, it WILL end in tears!
