How long has it been since you've flown?
Not knowing that, I'd recommend the Slow Stick.
It's really a great flying airplane for getting use to the sticks again. And it has enough power that weight is not so critical. It can handle some wind. You can even do aerial photography with it when you move on to other things.
The suggested flight pack from GWS will work with the Slow Stick. I'm not a big fan of their receivers, but that is my opinion.
If you want to buy seperate components that you can use in other planes here are my suggestions:
Receiver: Either FMA, Berg, or Hitec Electron, Super Slim or 555
ESC: Castle Creations Pixie 20
Servos: GWS Naro or Pico, Hitec HS55 or HS81. The Naro's and the HS81's will allow you to move to Speed 400 motors and higher.
Charger: The GWS charger is getting some good press and it's about $50
Battery Pack: 7 cell 600AE's Nicd, or 8 cell KAN950's Nimh
Just my 2 cents. I hope this helps. And welcome back to the hobby!
