Kingdom,

I only started a year ago. Let me say with absolute certainty that there is no absolutely right answer.

Get thou to a hobby shop! Leave thine credit card at home!

Ask questions! Talk to the guy who is browsing engines, talk to the shop owner, talk to the lady who is walking out the door.

Touch the airplanes! Figure out which one looks most interesting to you.

Then come back here and ask questions. Many questions.

Then go back to the hobby shop. See if there is a local club. Go to the club and look lost. Someone will almost certainly help.

My point is do some research, then do some more, before you buy anything.

There are an astounding number of alternatives and if you start down the wrong path (like electric then decide you like glow better) you can waste a lot of money.
