you probably get this question so many times, you would kick my ass when you would see me.
But never the less, here it is again:
What would be a good beginners setup ?
I haven't desided between electric and glow yet, so I would like to hear your opinions about this.
Hmmm ...
You're in Belgium.
Keep in mind that many of the replies you'll receive here will be from the USA. Some of the planes mentioned won't be as easily available there, perhaps.
I would suggest that you look in at the hobby shops you have locally. Also look around for flying clubs or for individuals you might see flying at areas you're considering using and see what's available in your market.
I started with electric before moving also into glow and found that was a good way to go. Foam airplanes are easy to fix, sometimes right at the flying site, so that some of the frustrations of crashing are minimized ... and you will crash.
I would suggest that you get something that uses equipment that will allow you to grow with it. Get a radio setup that is open - a transmitter, receiver, electronic speed control and servos that will work with more than one airplane are a must if you're looking to start and then move up to a number of other planes.
Perhaps your first decision is whether you want to do some building or have something ready to fly right out of the box. There are many choices. Gathering the information you'll need to start choosing is a great start to the hobby!
Enjoy!
