dont get the aerobird series. because you cant use the stuff out of them on future planes. get the GWS Slow Stick. the kit is easy to build and comes with a motor and propeller. you can get a good radio system from around $120 with 2 micro servos and a micro reciever. a GWS battery ranges from around $8 to $20. chargers from $20 to $80. also stock up on propellers and prop shafts!! go to your local hobby shop and they will help you out with propeller selection and prop shaft size. good luck and welcome to the addiction!!
