If you're looking into RC aviation, the way to do it is at a hobby shop, not radio shack.  

If you want a toy airplane, these are probably good enough.  

Basically, if it doesn't have at least three channels (throttle, elevator, and some form of roll or yaw control), it's either a toy or a sailplane.
