That should get you started nicely, but...

I personally like the Hitech 555 receiver. It has a range of one mile and is suitable for any plane you may want to move on to.

I quickly decided I wanted more power and more flight time and moved to a 7 cell battery.

I'm using an Electrifly Peak 400 charger which is also available from Tower and will save you $10

I highly recommend finding a flying club so you can learn to fly on a buddy box. I recommend you find a local club and get a radio that you can buddy box on with your local fliers. Usually a Futaba is a safe bet (Tower is compatable).

Don't forget spare props and wheels.
