Cajun..That 60 bird is a pefect choice to start..But a 45 version of same plane might be more practicle.Less gas,less size for transport,engine is cheaper to buy.

I have one flyable plane, and three under construction, but haven't worked on them lately.

When I was in college I bought a P51 Mustang from a pawn shop for $60.  Flew it for about 10 minutes, and did about $10,000 damage to a doctors office in Missoula, MT.

I then worked on a llama ranch for the doctor to pay off the insurance premiums.  He was a very nice, very understanding doctor.  At the time, I was working full time for Burger King, and after two raises and a promotion I was making $4.75/hr.

RC planes are great fun.
