I would also, the electristar requires a charger, 2 multi cell batteries ( ), and if you want to fly acro, you need like 2 4 s lipos ( ), I would go nitro, and if you get sick and tired of it, you can sell the engine... and get a brushless system
if you would go glow there are lots of options but if you like the electristar I think the glow version is the avistar but im not sure. I here the LT 40 if im correct is a great trainer.
