I have been kicking around the idea of getting involved in R/C flying. Anyone have some advice for a novice?

I am looking into getting a relatively inexpensive "trainer" and then build something of my own. The concept of ARF doesn't really appeal to me in the long run. I would like to build something from plans in the future. Ideally, I would like an aerobatic 1/3 scale design (maybe a Pitts, or an extra, or a Sukhoi) and then just for fun maybe a twin down the line.

What am I getting myself into here? Anyone have anything they would like to sell? Any input would be helpful.

Thanks,

Pete
