If you are not going to get experienced help learning to fly and you are going to try it alone and you want Electric as opposed to glow then here is what I would suggest.

1. Flight Simulator FMS is available for free via internet, there is another made specifically for small electrics (known as park flyers) by I believe Mastercockpit Backyardflyer $29-$35.

2. You want a slow stable plane. GWS sold through horizon (the same distributor that markets the firebird) makes to decent planes the pico stick and slow stick, Tigermoth.

3. Radio Battery Charger and rx/servos/esv (electronic speed control) GWS makes it easy to pick the "flight pack" for each plane they tell you on horizons website what flight pack is recommened for use with each plane. They also make an inexpensive radio for use with parkflyers. Not the best but fine for these types of planes.

4. Extra batteries depending on battery type and charger you could get between 5-15 mins flight time per charge without spares its fly a litlle wait alot (for recharging).

Please understand that this advice will cost more then 60 BUT it will at least provide you with a decent amount of gear that can be reused on future planes of the same type (parkflyers)

I look at it this way if you spend 60 get something that does nothing but frustrate you and you quit then you have wasted 60 bucks if you spend more get help you will most likely find an enjoyable hobby that will be with you from now on. The choice is yours... Did a Mention seeking help??? I didn't and destroyed many planes before I realized that 10 seconds of flying wasn't a good return on my investment
