If your goal is to eventually fly Glow or Gas planes, I wouldn't start out with a park flyer. Start out with good high wing glow trainer and 4 channels (rudder, ailerons, throttle and elevator). Find a club near you and get someone to help you out. They may have a club trainer and a buddy box. You may be able to find a used trainer that's ready to go for cheap, or you can buy everything new for around $500 to get started. Definitely get some help though, it's totally different than R/C cars.
