Thanks for the good points guys
I guess what appealed to me was the OS motor + it comes with flight simulation software

I checked out the Tower Hobbies plane (nice and cheap) but I was a bit iffy on the motor? Is it any good?
And I'd need a flight simulation thing as well. How much do these go for? And does any remote work with it?

Also 2 more questions, if the motor stalls, can the plane be recovered/landed properly?
And what sort of speeds do trainers reach?

Thanks again all the input is really appreciated
