A budget would help out in getting you a plane. I would start with nitro just to keep costs down. Yes, it's messy, but it's cheaper than going with a gasser. The one above is a great kit. I believe there is a version of that one that is a kit build rather than an ARF. So if you want to build a kit, that option is there. If you want an ARF, that option is also there. Just depends on what you want and what kind of budget you have. And don't forget about fuel cost. With the crap going on with China right now, nitro prices are higher than they have ever been.
