I suggest for this approach, buy a very simple used radio maybe 6 or 7 channel Spektrum dx6 or dx8 you can find them really cheap if you look hard enough. That way you are not out much money if you decide this is just too much for you. There are many 1 and dones in this hobby way more than people who decide to stick with the hobby , because it's expensive and it can be very time consuming and very hard at first.
