Hi MP,
May I suggest that you reconsider these as first models if you have no experience with RC flying.
While they look nice, you really need a trainer as a first model.
Also, in the UK the BMFA, see www.bmfa.org are the governing body and provide excellent information to RC pilots. They also provide insurance (third party) at a very good price, included in your annual membership.
Please join a local club and you may even get a chance to fly the club trainer via a buddy box system, where the instructor has a transmitter and your transmitter is connected to his by a lead. This will give you a taste of flying before you spend money on a model, and your instructor will advise on a good starter model. You can move onto nice scale models once you can fly.
I do not mean to dishearten you, but I have been doing this for over 17 years and trainned many new pilots and would like to help you avoid dissapointment.
