Don't consider it a challenge to learn to fly by yourself. You will most likely crash and possible never fly again. Find an R/C field near you and talk with other fliers. They will teach you to fly. They will also suggest the equipment you should purchase. You can find a field by going to http://www.modelaircraft.org/.

-Thunder Tiger GP-42 Engine
-4 channel radio
-propeller, spinner
-Glow-Plug and Tank all installed and ready-to-fly
