A good idea would be to find a local hobbie store and go in there and see which products they sell, and talk to people there about what they recomend.
And also research it on the internet. |

Find your local flying club too and find out what equipment they're running. In my area, it tends to be OS engines, Futaba and Airtronics radios, and Sig Kadets for trainers.

Yea... I want to get back into it one of these days. I still enjoy model helicopters a bit more, but I've been a bit obsessive lately about sketching some plans for my all time favorite plane, the Avro Arrow. Maybe one of these days I'll actually start building it.
