Getting Started -- Need Tons of Help
I'm not sure what you are looking to spend, but I would look into a .40 size trainer. You can get the complete RTF pacages for around $300.00. One thing I've learned in the past is it cost to much to buy inexpensive things. You will end up with a 40 size plane in the future anyway. Buy it now and learn on it rather than having to re-learn by going from Electric to glow. If you go to a meeting you can also talk to Mark Diulous, He owns the Local hobby shop in Bloomfield. THeir number is 412-687-2386. You'll likely get Charlene and she's real helpful.
Good luck.
