Steve, two beginners at our club have the new Hobbico Nextstar which is a complete outfit with most everying needed to fly, san support items. They fly well and look a little like a Cessna. I've seen them fly and wish I had one when I started, that Sturdy Birdy was not nearly as good!! Check it out at towerhobbies.com or check at your LHS---Good luck but get help and have an instructor teach you. Look for an AMA club in your area and you can got to their web site for charted clubs in your area as most have instructors to help. There is a good review of the Nextstar here on RC Universe.
