Ahem. Don't count on carrying any extra weight, not even a tiny camera, when you are looking at planes like this.

When you have learned to fly - with, say, a SoarStar or the equivalent - ask again. By then you'll know why we keep them light.

If you can get a SoarStar, and buy a conventional radio recommended by your local flyers, you will have a plane you can learn on, and a radio to last you through a few more planes.

Good luck,
