I would really suggest if you want to get into the hobby, get a good 4 ch trainer and a good instructor and go for it. If you want to save money and get one of those cheap electric wanna be RC planes, save your money because you will have a bad experience, and you will hate it. they are not that much fun, most are built cheap, and most you won't get more than a flight or two. Once you do learn on them, you are limited to straight flight and turns on most, and can't do aerobatics. Some can, most can't. They get boring pretty quickly. If you just want a toy, go to walmart, if you want to fly RC, get good equipt and you will like it a lot more.
