Dont leap for a radio until you have seen some in the flesh. There are some very cheap ones out there.
You will probably need 4 or 6 channels at very least.
Remember measure twice, cut once.
A flight sim with RC controller can be quite cheap, right now a UK modellin magazine is offering one with a subscription (RCME) now if a magazine does that over there you would score twice, great information and a sim.
Probably the wisest thing you could do is get your dad to take you to a flying field, get him hooked and then he will sneak all the purchasing past mum!
I very well remember saving up for my first 3 channel radio and it seemed like forever until I had the cash.
I spent ages pouring over magazines looking at reviews though.
Your lucky lborn in the internet age, all the information is out there, you just have to find it.
