RE: getting started
Since you have been flying for five years, you obviously don't need a beginner's trainer. It would help if you provided some information as to what you want and what your budget is. Do you want an RTF, PNP, ARF or Kit? Do you want a warbird, an aerobatic plane or something with a lot of speed? Is wind a big consideration? How big is your flying field? Ground take-offs and landings or handlaunches and bellyflop landings?
For a good starting point, check out the E-flite MiniUltraStick PNP and the Spectrum radio.
