Welcome, and best of luck with getting into the hobby. I wouldn't recommend picking up a glow plane. If you want a ready to fly, fully assembled trainer that will cost you about as much as your first foam build, I would recommend the Hobby Zone Champ, as it is working great for my training needs. I hear nothing but good about the tiny trainer and cub, both are excellent choices for a first foam trainer. A third option is the scout, either the simple scout or mighty mini will work well. I order all of my electronic and small parts online because local rc shops in my area have outrageous prices and very poor selection, and seem more geared towards rc cars and expensive electric helicopters. The cheapest transmitter they sell is like $100, and they never have props and batteries in the sizes and specs I need.
