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.
Yeah i am locking for RC clubs in my area, there are few around here but they are a bit far, so ill see how it goes, idealy i would like to join a club, but if its to far i can allways go to a park that 5 min from me and fly there.

I will lock in to that charger you mentioned above, would you recommend the Electrifly Peak 400 charger over the Hitec CG 340? What are your charching times?
