One thing that helped me is my dad, he helped me pay for alotta my stuff when I was young.
other than that, follow the advice above.

My dad pays for all of my airplane stuff
...so far about $3600 and growing. But he don't pay for all my RC car stuff [
].
Anyway, I have a Hobbico Avistar and trained on it and loved it. LHS gave me a deal for only $259.99. Once I got done training, I made low rates on it to 100% and high rates to 140% and made it a taildragger. Flies like a dream! Also, being underage, AMA insurance only cost $1! (w/o the mag) As for field equipment, I started out with a chicken stick, a D cell glow ignitor and a fuel bottle and basic tools. It worked fine then I upgraded and now there are wires everywhere speaking for the fact that I got a foamie.
I don't think that helped much but just my opinion,
