Default RE: Good reference source for newbie?

The GL was flown probably 10 or 20 times before it was stored, I was planning on getting a new reciever to go with the Futaba Skysport 4 I already have for my rc plane, and just use the elevator and rudder controls, instead of getting a whole new radio. I keep hearing about 2 meter radio's, AM, FM, etc.... are these different than the radios used for regular rc flying? I haven't pulled the GL out of his basement yet, but when he stored it, it was in good shape, and I was going to recheck everything before I ever put it in the air. My main concern is, I have no knowledge of how to actually get it in the air and flying. I've heard of thermals, slope soaring, etc, but I don't know what the first thing to look for once it's in the air. I'll check out that link that was posted too. Thanks!
