Not sure what your intentions are, especially when you mention something smaller. Do NOT try to fly one of these at a park or school soccer field! Glow planes are faster, heavier, and much more dangerous than the electric planes you've probably been flying. People have been killed when hit by glow planes.

Take the advice received here. If you're serious about getting into glow powered aircraft, join the AMA and a club. It wouldn't hurt to get help with the first couple flights either. As I mentioned, glow is faster than small electrics, and there's a good chance you'll lose it.

By the way, smaller glow planes tend to be even faster, and are more difficult to fly than the standard 40 size trainer.

Here's the AMA's website address; http://www.modelaircraft.org

They also have a page that will help you find a club close to you.
