I agree with most of the previous , but for radios check out the eclipse 7 by Hitec or the 9 C from futaba, a little more money but they are more compatible for trainers at most clubs that airtronics.

as for trainers the LT fourty is one of the most popular,

with this selection of radios , probly looking at around 600.00 with all the misc. things , will actually be a drop in the bucket once your hooked on RC, just the way it is ,LOL

by the way welcome to RCU !!!!!
