Go to the field a few times with the stick, and borrow a starter of needed. When you learn to fly, and if you decide you like it, save up and buy a GOOD starter (like a 180 size). I bought a little starter for my trainer, and it worked great, but when I moved up in planes, that little starter had no chance starting a saito 100 or 120, especially when they were new. This may seem like overkill, but if you grow in the hobby, you will save a lot of money in the long run by having equipment that will be viable as you grow.
