I just want to thank everyone that responded to my questions about what
first plane/trainer to purchase.

I have decided, with the help of my local club instructors to purchase a
used hobbico avistar RTF kit complete with field box and accessories from
one of the club members. Should have it in about one weeks time (just in
time for my vacation time from work)

Thank-you all once again, you were a great help!

Kerry

Local clubs are great resources. Good luck and have fun.

And not a bad choice I might add. The Avistar makes a good trainer and when
your skills get better its a pretty nimble flyer.

Congrats on your purchase!
Welcome to the world of RC, and all of it's wonders.
May your take-offs be pretty and your landings be successful.

Sounds like you took my advice!
Thanks!
