Hi JR,

Good to hear you want to try planes. I would suggest finding a local club and seeing if anyone has a trainer package they are willing to sell. For example, I just sold an old trainer set up to a friend for $200. This was plane, radio, field box, etc. Basically everything he would need to fly that day, if he wanted.

There was another ad on our for sale board for a similar set up for $300. There will also be guys at the club who would be willing to help you get started. I would definitely recommend getting help from an instructor. It'll save you money in the long and short run.

Good luck.
