Welcome KyFlyChick.
I am relatively new to R/C planes but share your passion for WWII fighter planes. Once day I will have a scale F4U Corsair to fly.
Heed my advice: Don't rush into it! Take your time and fly with an instructor and a beginner (trainer) plane. I have a NexStar and love it, and others will give you their opinions on trainers in which they like. I bought the NexStar kit which had the plane, engine, radio, receiver, etc. It was put together in about 30 minutes and all that was needed was the field box (fuel, starter, igniter, etc). There are several trainers out there so do your research. Join a club and ask the members their opinions. Also, find out what frequency would be the best to get. Find an instructor you are comfortable with before you think you can go on your own. I know of someone; not me of course
who thought they were ready to go on their own and ended up with a pile of sticks and a bruised ego...
Fly safe!
