Moose don't buy that Bf109 thing.
1) It's not a trainer so you will not be able to learn to fly on it.
2) It's heavy and has a small wing so it will fly very fast and will stall and snap on landings. You will loose this plane if you try to learn landings on it.
3) Fox engines are pieces of toejam.
4) This plane is very old, and an obvious beater. Plus don't belive when people say "never crashed". People very easily lie about this, even when a sale is arranged over the phone.
5) It is ugly.

Go buy an ARF (Almost ready to fly Trainer), preferably a .40 size with a 60 inch wingspan. Join AMA
http://www.modelaircraft.org which is required to join a local RC club. The RC club guys will teach you how to fly.
Target it will cost you $500 to get into the hobby with a new glow
powered trainer, radio, engine accesories, AMA membership, and club dues. If you cant/dont want to spend this much then best not waste money and start it only to give up soon.
As a trainer I reccomend the Hobbico Avistar "Select" ARF.
http://www.towerhobbies.com (Do a search for Avistar)
For $300 you get plane, engine and radio- plus the engine and radio are completely installed. You just assemble the plane.
Then figure 50 dollars for AMA, up to 100 for RC club membership and 50-100 for basic accesories and you are set.
NO MATTER WHAT DONT ATTEMPT TO FLY THESE PLANES WITHOUT EXPERIENCED RC PILOTS HELP AT AN RC CLUB. IT IS NOTHING LIKE AH FLYING AND YOU WILL CRASH YOUR PLANE IN !)SECONDS, POSSIBLY HURTING SOMEBODY!
Good luck, and be prepared to spend much more money after you enter the hobby- it is like drugs.
