I agree with Blackie, you can't beat the deal you'll get by buying one of the ARF's with engine and radio included. I would suggest the Superstar though, as it is truly a trainer, and will fly slower than the Avistar. I have seen people train on both, but if your one that needs to fly slower at first to get better control, you'll be glad you got the Superstar. You can get the Computer radio also if you have the extra cash, as you'll need a buddy box, at first, till you get the hang of flying and landing. PCM, it's debatable if it's better, their is a lot of arguing every time it is brought up. Join a club, and you'll get a lot of info, and flying instruction from club members. Good Luck, and happy flying.
