Kul: I recently bought a Hobbico Super Star RTF (Ready To Fly) from the local hobby shop. I bought it as a club trainer. It came with a basic four channel Futaba radio system and an OS 40 LA engine installed. It was just a matter of bolting on the tail feathers, landing gear, and charging the batteries and it was ready to fly. I did change the engine, though, for an OS 46 FXi I believe is what I put on there.. but that is not necessary. I just didn't like the OS 40 LA engine, but that was personal preference and not necessary.

Anyway, I paid around $275 for this RTF and it flys just great. I've had several students up with it and they had a good time learning some basics. They liked it enough to get a plane of their own. The purpose was to get them to fly RC without having to spend a lot of money just to see if they would enjoy RC (purpose of a 'club trainer' that is).

Good luck with whatever you choose, as you can see, most of us recommend a 40 size (or so.. larger is better, but the 40 is as good a model to start off with) AND do it with an instructor. You will learn faster with a much better chance of successful flights without crashes.
