Not sure what your question really is?

The airplane you are mentioning is a park flier which is fine as long as conditions are calm. If you want something more substantial I'd suggest you take a look at RCKen's suggested list of airplanes (top of the page here on the beginners section) for trainers you'll be money ahead in the long run.
My question is just what do you guys think about this plane

Oh and I was not aware of "glow fuel"

Gas = gasoline, as you would put in your typical car, but with a little 2-stroke oil added (as in a chain-saw). Usually used on larger aircraft. Glow fuel is a blend of Methanol and Nitro Methane plus some added oil, usually a blend of castor oil and synthetic oil. Those engines range in size from the very small, .049 cu-in for instance, to larger sizes up to but not including some of the 2.00 cubic inch or so, the larger sizes, .10 cu and up usually have a throttle. The smaller are wide open all the time.
