ok you do not just "learn" how to fly a plane overnight. it takes practice, if you do go through with this i have a feeling your going to crash that plane the first time you go to do anything with it...
everybodies right, start electric hobby grade, plane or car. and work up to faster and bigger scales, then move onto smaller nitros, then you can move to the big boy toys...

If you're looking into flying RC, start off with a Electric Plane, like the Firebird. It's not acrobatic, but you get used to flying, repairs are cheap, and the plane starts at about $100.
It's harder than it seems, and the fast ones are something else. It's also MUCH harder to build than it seems, and flying is something else. Cars are 2d things. Just pavement. Airplanes are 3d. They go side-to-side, and Up-and-Down.

Cars can go on forever, they can roll to a stop if you run out of batteries/fuel. A plane...it drops like a **** rock.
 I've been into flying for about three years now, I fly with a local club (skymasters on Michigan, google them if you so please..). We have some of the most experianced people from Futaba, JR, and Hobico fly at our field/come to our meets. We also sponser/host the largest float fly in the United States. (Mid-West Regional Float fly. It's an annual thing in Septembre'.) I've flown Nitro the whole time, and have had no regrets. I did get my hand at flying an Electric, but the only advantage is there is no clean up. Exhaust gets to be a P.I.T.A. after a while.  If you want to get into flying, go to your local hobby shop and ask them if they have a club in your area. More often than not, there is a club. MOST clubs will host a "trainers" night (ours are Wednesday from Memorial to Laybor day). Now, being fall/winter, you're not going to find a club that's going to be out flying as frequently, unless they're die-hards. Search around for a "trainer" plane. These planes have large dihedrail, slower flying, and more efficient. They're just all around easier to fly. When you start getting into pattern planes, you're going to want to have a wad of cash behind your butt. You see $$$ flying then, not just a matterial object. PM me for more questions, anyone.

if you want a truck, go with the AE rc18t. there was a 18th scale truck shootout between the rc18t, duratrax vendetta st, Pro Pules Pro T-100, Trinity Blade, and xray m18t. the winner was the rc18t. i found this in my rc mini action magazine. i used to fly a plane, but then i stopped for 3 years, tried running it again and it wouldnt fly, good thing it was a b-day present!
