Wow, Thanks for all the answers and tips guys.
I will Be looking for a club locally here to set my foot.

I will follow your advice and Stay away from the 2-channel Planes, I am probally going to look more closly at the Carl Goldber Eagle.

I have several R/C CAR servos sitting around, I should be able to use those right?

I was looking at different types of radios and I see AM and FM. Which ones are better / more reliable, or does it not matter.
