If you can afford it, it is fun and addictive. Most starter kits can be affordable. Your aircraft is the biggest part to get right.
From what I have seen here the best platform is a quad and for long range is a powered glider. Craig and lee have a lot of knowledge combined that should get you flying.

Thanks for the kind comments guys...
I understand Lee... the less to pack the better.
I like the plane a lot, but the quad just has much more control for an adrenaline rush. They both are loads of fun though.
I am about to see about getting the EZOSD. That will make long distance flights less of a worry.
To have the RTH, RSSI, Amp Draw, Battery voltage and the home arrow to help you get headed back in the right direction
if you get turned around will be way cool.
I really want the RTH and RSSI the most, radio signal strength would be a must. You can see when the video starts to fade and turn around.
But radio signal would be to late if you start loosing it.
The EZOSD is full featured
Here is the list of...
Features:
-Altimeter
-GPS antenna built-in
-100 Amps Current Sensor (included)
-Battery Voltage Level
-Battery Capacity (mA) Level
-Ground Speed
-Home Indicator Arrow
-Distance from Home
-Flight Time
-Motor Power Consumption
-Warnings for low battery voltage, pack capacity reached, too high, too far, etc.
-Periodic Amateur radio callsign broadcast, to comply with FCC regulations.
-OSD control from a spare servo channel (optional)
-Easy to install and configure.
-Robust design, reverse polarity protection, overvoltage protection
-Easy Firmware upgrades standard via USB port on/board
-Simple, uncluttered display, just the essentials. Which way is home, and how long can I stay up here.
-Warnings for low battery voltage, pack capacity reached, too high, too far, etc.
-Periodic Amateur radio callsign broadcast, to comply with FCC regulations.
-OSD control from a spare servo channel (optional)
-Intuitive menu system, with onboard menu buttons
-After-flight debriefing, shows a summary of the flight: Max. altitude, max. distance, max. speed, average speed, distance flown...
-10Hz GPS update rate
-PAL/NTSC auto-detect
-Uncluttered display, enjoy the view, not the OSD clutter!
Now you see why i would like to have one LOL.....
