The plane and engine are good but I would go with a different radio.

I would probably go with this for a 6 channel, only $10 more than the Hitec.

OR go with the 7 channel spektrum

One thing you might want to consider is to make sure if you want to run dual elevator servos on separate channels the radio has the correct mix built in so the trim tab operates on both halves. Also there is the 2.4Gig revolution about to take place so you may want to go with a 2.4G from the beginning.

I would compare the radios and make sure you are getting the most for your money. I would go with the 6ch JR at a minimum, and skip the Hitec, I just don't think the quality is there, I would say JR and Futaba are in a higher class than Hitec.
