Default RE: first r/c plane

Congrats, and welcome to the hobby. Personally, I went cheap with my field gear and it has served me well for years. I went to walmart and got a small lawnmower 12 volt. It allows me to use a starter, field charge batteries, and whatever else I need 12 volts for. I went wireless with the glow driver as well. And for field box, just get a decent sized toolbox from home depot. One thing I would recommend adding to your list would be an Accu-cycle elite or something similar. A good battery charger will be a plane saver and make life so much easier. Not having to guess if the battery really is charged is very nice. This setup has served me well from glow trainer to 50cc gassers. Hope this helps. Take care.
