Hello,

My advice is to ask yourself if you want to deal with glow or electric. I strongly believe that all the "tinkering' of the setup should be kept to a minimum so you can FLY out of the box. This is where the fun begins. I have witnessed that too much tinkering with glow engine will dampen the enthusism for newbies to the point that they give up the hobby. Let's get you flying first, then you can decide if you want glow or electric as it has its own advantages. Let me recommend this trainer: Multiplex EASYSTAR RFT package (not the kit vesion). You can fly after opening box in 30 minutes. A PROVEN GREAT trainer!! I am 99.999999% sure you will love it and thank me for it. By the way, STAY AWAY FROM balsa planes when you first learn. TRUST ME ON THIS.... Dai Phan
