Go to tower hobbies. Buy a foamie electric for under $200 complete. If you bang it up, replace the plane for 20 bucks. Learn the controls and get comfortable with them before you fly. Make sure no one else is around. You cant hurt them if theyre not there. (They also cant brag for you WHEN you succeed). I fly everything from .40 size up to 62cc. and I just bought one to practice aerobatics on for $152 minus the transmitter and receiver.
