RE: Is this a toy?
Hi!
It's what most of us that has been into R/C for many years would consider a "Toy airplane and toy radio".
You are that British lad...?!
If you seriously want to get started in this wonderful hobby/sport I do recommend something more like this... An ARF high winged trainer with a span of 150-170cm (built in ply and balsa), a 6,5cc glow engine and a 4-6 channel radio.
This is common way to start ...but there are other ways too...like indoor electrics...sailplanes ...outdoor electrics and so on...
So what is it you want to achieve? What does your dream look like ? Is it to fly outdoors, indoors, glow airplanes, scale, racing, Jets, sport airplanes, starting and landing on a large runway or what??
Regards!
