It is not like it was 60 years ago. New radio same old plane and same old me what next.Make sure you choose the eqiupement you want and also make sure you are willing to make the commitment to the hobby. Love for flying and the will to learn will help you. Listen to those with wisdom and learn make sure you can tell the difference between wisdom and copy cat hear say may be the difference from a crash and a fullfilled hobby
