Hey guys, thanks a lot for the great help... I'm going to go with the Thunder Tiger - Tiger Trainer OBL from ACE hobbies. It's good cause it can be either gas or electric. And i don't think that im ready for nitro yet.
That's a great choice, too, for a high quality airframe. You should be able to find all of the Ace recommended flight components at
http://www.thundertiger4u.com They're a TT speciality online retailer, and orders over $150 include free shipping.
You many want to take a look at the Hobbico ElectriStar Select RTF package, too. It's completely prebuilt and includes the brushless outrunner motor and brushless electronic speed control (ESC) already preinstalled. It comes with a nice Futaba 4-channel computer radio system pre-installed as well.

Interestingly, Tower Hobbies is selling the Electristar RTF for $349.98 while my local Hobbytown USA store has them marked on the shelf for only $299.99. You will still need to buy a couple of 3000mah NiMH batteries and an appropriate charger in order to get it up in the air. You may find your local hobby store is the better place to shop for this particular trainer package.
I'm not sure what the Tiger Trainer OBL will finally cost you completely equipped and ready-to-fly. It's surprising how much more affordable the glow-powered trainer packages are, but good electric aircraft with brushless power systems don't come cheaply.
Goodluck, and happy shopping!
