Speaking of wind, please do not get a foamiy trainer - you will wind up destroying it and be very unhappy. A good 40 to 60 size is the best. And I recommend fuel, although the 15 cc gas engines (90 size) are intriguing for a 60 size trainer. Electric has gotten much better but to learn to fly you need at least 3 flights a day on the weekend and tht means a lot of expensive batteries. And definitely go to a club BEFORE you buy any engines or radios to find out what their instructors use so you are compatible. My club, and my instructor, used Futbe and I had Airtronics. Learing to fly by passing the radio back and forth is scary. 8-o
