Default Suggestions for new plane.

The first plane I had must have been at LEAST ten years old. I found it in some boxes that my step-dad had that must have been from one of my step-brothers.
Anyway, it looked like a Cessna, and was by Cox.
This was about 23 years ago I think.
I ended up getting it running, and was hooked. Gas (nitro fuel I know now), and something that can fly? Oh hell yeah! I was hooked.
I ended up getting a Stuka Dive Bomber control line about a month latter (it even had a third string to release a plastic lead weighted bomb. I think I was 12 at the time, and that was the coolest thing ever), and I was pretty good at it, never had a crash, and always could land it.
Anyway, for some reason I stopped flying, and can't remember why.
I want to start flying again, and have thought about geting an RC, but decided that since it has been so long, maybe I should start from the very beginning again. I do RC Nitro buggies and trucks now, so I am familiar with nitro.
What would all of you suggest for a noob, returning after such a long time?
