define cheap, I always recommend the E-flite apprentice to beginners. If it were me I would get the BNF apprentice for 249.99 and the DX6. you will get a charger, battery and the plane with an excellent remote with the DX6. If you are looking for even cheaper the Flite test trainer with a DX6 would be another excellent choice. I like the apprentice as it can be glued back together and parts are cheap relatively to replace. It always has the safety switch and three flight modes. A dx6 will also keep you flying for a while until you get into either helis or quads.
