RE: First plane ??
Any trainer combo will be cheaper than buying a car chassis and motor, the reason for a trainer is just because you do cars doesn't mean you can fly. Buy a trainer, go to your local RC flight field and find out who the club instructor is. TAKE LESSONS it will save you a lot of money in crashed planes, then once you have it with the trainer the sky is the limit. I fly giant scale planes from 87in wing span to 140in now and some of my planes are worth more than peoples cars. I used to race cars too and thought the transition would be a snap, after going through about $700 in airframes I took lessons from a trainer at my field and have never looked back. Now when I wreck a plane it is from $1,200 to $10,000 down, but when one go in it is because of a failure mostly, and every now and then ME.
