Well first off, thank you all for taking the time to give me a detialed explaination of how it all works. I have gone by the airfield and i tried tlaking to a few people over there but everyone seemed to busy to talk or just didn't care enough,
I actually dont plan on flying down at the local field, unless i go on a weekday. There is a nice HUGE sized parking lot ontop of a mountain near my house. I have already scoped out the landscape and there is not a tall or dangerous tree for miles, plently of runway and a nice sacluded spot. I have seen two guys flying up there before. There is even a 30ft wide flat dirty road that the planes would be landed on, but it would be a hard landing.
I think i am going to buy an ARF kit, I really would like to build one myself but it may be best to start off with one that has most of the major work done to it. I have built a glider before but that did not go too well.
I have a single stick radio with a two channel reciever and the two sevros from the glider, will that work?
I think because of my rc experience i would like to try and buy a plan that is a little nicer than some trainer plane. Like i said above, maybe a plane somewhere in the middle of the skill level.
Can someone give me specs of what i should look for exactly? I am willing to purchase somehing used if there is a nice combo out there.
also, if tower hobbies the place to buy from, or are there a bunch of tower hobbies salesman on these boards? hehe
What type of radio do i need? how many channel? how many sticks?
Do you think i should buy a plane that is already built? seems like half the fun is building them.
I already started to look for a plane. I like these, Based on the looks:

i still am a little hesitant because i dont know what to look for exactly. I hate that they are calling these planes trainer planes!
