An idea is to start with a cheap basic beginner kit just to get a good feel.
I know you will have no problem structurally but you have to allow for the electronics and controls which are not even mentioned in most advance kits. It is assumed you already know how to put that stuff in during the build.
I am a member at two of the local clubs. alot of members from Port Huron.
One is the Prop Busters, they fly and have their meetings in Goodells at the county park.

The River District Eagles fly in St. Clair on the Detroit Edison landfill (just south of St. Clair Hwy and King Rd.) and have meatings at the Marysville library.
