The LT-40 is an excellent choice. Like the others said, a good ball bearing .46 will be more than enough power. Get a 6 channel radio if you can afford it. Get two different colors of monokote, light for the top of the plane, dark for the bottom. Buy your fuel locally, and get a little higher nitro content, like 10 or 15 %. Lastly, find a club and/or an instructor, this is very important. Most of all, have fun!
