IMHO, get a 4 channel plane AND a 6 ch or more radio.

As you move-up, (it can happen quite rapidly...trust me), you will need more channels and more options.

Don't waste hundreds of dollars on toys if you want to fly RC. Get quality stuff and don't listen to people who tell you how they have been doing this for 30 years, (and you don't need a computer radio and you don't need a light plane and mixing is for sissies and and and ...). Most of them can't fly anyway.

Get quality stuff, listen to people who can REALLY fly, and fly with people who are better at it than you are. Nobody asks a bum for money, don't ask someone who can't fly for flying lessons.
