I'd recommend the Nexstar or the Super Star Select. These hobbico ready to flies are great, and while I don't recommend it, I taught myself how to fly with no help from anyone on the first flight. I somehow managed to land it, well, arrive it on the ground after an 8 minute flight and only killed the prop. So my first flight was a solo. Knowing what I know now though is DONT DO IT!!! I got lucky, maybe I am a natural, but many others have killed brand new nice airplanes doing the same.

The trainer i had was the Super Star select and i believe from Tower Hobbies you can get it RTF in 20 minutes (quoted by the manufacturer) for about 279 plus flight box, chargers, glow stick, fuel, starter, starter battery, misc tools, props, fuel pumps, etc. Expensive to start, but buy good equipment and it will last you quite a while.

I also recommend flying at an AMA field. I have learned and showed others so much over the years and it has benefited all. Good luck in getting into the hobby. I hope to see you around the forums.
