i like the r/c stuff but r/c planes are my top choice...once you solo it's freaking awesome, luckily we have 3 dry lake beds all pretty close where you can learn and there isnt 80 million others trying to fly...the community is like boating everyone wants to lend a helping hand with tools and "glow plugs" and props...realisticly you can buy an ARF with everything for just over 300 bucks...it's a trainer plane with a low end os 40 in it and low end futaba stuff, but it wont hurt your feelings after you scuff it up for the first time...it's a trainer...if this is something you are interested in lemme know i got a few trainers i can take out and put you on the old buddy chord and show you the ropes im probably not so good at flying because i havent been in some time but atleast ill be wrecking one of my planes ya know
