First of all.. it IS better to by a bigger plane, a bigger engine will be helpfull to drag the larger weight of the plane, after the modifications he is planning to do, he probably is looking to impress his friends.. a big radio will help too, to control the additional servos of the camera.. plus it's not hard to learn the functions of a computer radio.. it's not rocket science....

I for one, met many people here who didn't buy a trainer for their first plane. I'll fly my four star only when I know I can fly it...but before that.. practice on the trainers.. sims.. with instructors.. ONLY THEN.. will i fly my plane..
