Actually since your just looking to do it on your own in the back yard, something like that is probably ideal. Hope you have a very large back yard!! These things are harder to fly than you think, especially in small confined quarters, but at least with something like that your not out much money when you crash it, & you will crash it!

Another cheap little plane that is suppose to be very easy to fly & alot of fun is the aerohog(I believe it's called) anyway it's part of the airhogs line of toy planes you can get them at Wally-world for around $25 to $30. They have a number of different models now that are ready to fly with the radio & everything. They are cheap, fun, & readily available at most Walmarts without having to pay shipping & waiting for your new toy to arrive. If you find that you like flying & want to learn to fly RC for real, then find your local club & get with an Instructor who can teach you to fly safely with a more traditional type Trainer. Good luck, & have fun!!!
