first check out the clubs...watch ebay...get yourself a good/decent radio, 6 channel with a few memories, so you can fly a regular glow trainer and then switch to a parkflyer..with the one radio..someone in the club will have a trainer for sale or the club may have a trainer you can borrow/rent....watch ebay...I have seen entire newbie outfits (radio.plane,fieldbox) go for $200..in fact I bid on that one even though I had no use for it.....hope this helps,, if you are fixated on the Nexstar, I'm sure thats a good outfit too....I just happen to be a shopper....Rog
