Default :Am Looking For Advice:

I'm brand new here, so hello to you all.. In a 'nutshell'.. Many years ago I flew control line aircraft, and I'd like to get back into flying again -- this time RC stuff.. I have nobody to 'fly' with, I live too far from any clubs or other flyers {Nevada desert}, so all the info I 'see' or get is either on-line, paid ads, or from cataloges, and we all know that each salesperson claims to have the very 'best' there is on the market - right? I feel my best advice will come from 'flyers', not store clerks.. You folks are 'flyers', so that why I'm asking for your advice.. I think I need a good trainer to start off with and have read a lot of good reports about both the Hobbico SuperStarSelect-40 and Sig's LT-40 Trainer.. In time I hope to get into Warbirds, but I need to start at the bottom and work up first.. I need as close to a RTF as possible {and a RTF would be better - I'm retired and I'm handicapped, I can't walk much and can only stand for short periods of time}.. I understand that both those planes come complete with everything needed to just about fly them 'out of the box' - and that's good for me.. I admire all the skilled-work and fantastic looking planes I see flying, but I'm just not capable of doing that work..
..______Thank you for your input_______..
