well welcome to RCU =)

more info would be good to help you out with. How much do you want to spend, do you have someone who can help you set it up, how fast do you learn, are you going to have access to a sim that you can practice regularly, are you looking more into full sized birds, or something you can fly around the house, ect ect

With that said, alot of people start out with something like the lama v3 or 4 or the cx2, or something like the honeybee fp mark3 from hobby-lobby.com

Most important question. What is your budget.

Other applicable questions.

What type of flying to you plan on? Full aerobatic or puttering around

Where do you plan on flying? Your living room, a small ball field or a full size flying field?
