My goodness, there are already tons of sites on the net that can be refered to. One of the best is Howard Sullivans site
R/C Flight Unlimited

This site is loaded with all kinds of informaiton about starting out in R/C modeling.

Another site is Alan's links, however I'm not sure of the URL. All one has to do is just look around the web and you can find all kinds of interesting items about Model Aircraft.
