Just thinking about the complete kit cost for trainers that come with a controler.
Without the rest of the equipment your plane becomes a non-flying model...
Enjoy what ever you get.. Just make sure you half all the equipment neccessary to fly it.
I only brought up the costs because in the past here I've seen people quoting starting costs that seem to me to be missing a lot of basic equipment. If you really get into this hobby you will be surprised at how many "gadgets" you aquire over the years.
