First I would recommend as others have suggested,to shop for what is going to fit you best as far as radio and plane go.If you get into this go ahead and look into the AMA.It is a good deal.If you go the RTF route, this plane has room to grow somewhat beyond standard trainer,as does the radio. Good luck with your choices, welcome to airplanes they are addictive.[link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGHD4**&P=ML]Hobbistar 60 mkIII RTF[/link]
