This was my reaction too after just getting back into the sport after 25 years. I was all OS Max glow engines, Futaba radios and balsa build kits back then ... but just ordered an Apprentice STS 1.5m RTF Basic Smart Trainer with SAFE that includes the radio as my re-entrance plane. My biggest learning curve is figuring out the batteries and charges. I went with the G2 battery & charger thinking that might be better??
