I gotta echo what Missileman & the others are telling you. Get an ARF Trainer, they don't cost much & you can use the engine & radio out of the Cherokee. You can allways replace it later. Or buy new stuff for it when you have more money. Then get in touch with a club & get an Instructor. Join the AMA, you can start for as little as $19.99, that will allow you to join the local club. A club will get you trained & soloed as well as giving you a safe place to fly & lots of new friends to fly with. Besides getting boring fast, flying by yourself is dangerous. If I catch a prop strike to an artery, I want one of my friends there to get me some help before I bleed out![X(]

Small cheap electrics I believe will leave you wanting & wishing you had the money you wasted on it back to buy a real plane with. They are poor flyers & grossly underpowered. Electrics don't fly well until you shell out the money for a good brushless set-up. That means the proper brushless motor & ESC, lipo batteries & a good charger capable of charging lipos. This equals money as none of these components come cheaply. Glow power is clearly easier to deal with for a beginner. There is a lot to learn about electrics. It is very easy to waste a lot of money buying the wrong stuff when first starting out with them. Don't ask how I know this.[:@] Just save yourself a lot of time, headache, & money for now & go with a glow powered Trainer & an Instructor. You'll be up & flying in no time if you choose this route. IMO
