The best thing to do is to find an RC club where you will be flying and go visit them. The most common type of flying is with glow engine planes. If you are more interested in E power there may be an electric flyer at the RC club that can help you out. From what I have seen E power will slow your training time down. Unless you have very expensive motors and large battery packs you will be limited to flying in very light breezes. Also the battery pack is only good for 1 flight before it needs to be recharged. You can replace the battery pack after 1 flight but then you have to put the dead pack on charge while you get in your second flight. Does the RC field have a plug in for your charger?? The alternative is to have 5 or 6 extra battery packs to get in an average days training. Best of luck, Fast!
