Another converter to the dark side.

That plane will work fine and good job on supporting your LHS. Motor, go with at least the 46 and if you can afford it, go with the AX series instead of the LA. Airplane motors will about last forever, so spend the money now and do it right. They are not like car motors.

Some may direct you to a more traditional trainer. You don't need it. A few years ago, I about destoyed the off road nitro off road program here, becasue I introduced them to airplanes. I taught about 50 of them how to fly and maybe 30 of them went hard and left cars all together.

You will taked to airplanes instantly, all these other guys did. So it allows you to go to plane #2, first. That Cessna has good looks and will give you a challange, where the basic trainer will not.

You radio is fine for now and regular servos will work fine. All those stock servos you won't run in your cars are fine for your airplane.

You still want some help, but you will be solo in about 5 flights, if even that many.

And another thing, planes are WAY cheaper than buggies and cars.
