I seem to remember him selling some RC cars here a while back.
Depends on how much you want to spend Jack. I would start with a cheap electric motor beginner plane that you can crash a bit and not lose too much money fixing. A good one is this plane.

The rear prop is a good feature so that you arent constantly replacing props after you crash. Plus the replacement parts like wings and tail etc are avaialable and cheap.
If you already have experience, then go nitro for sure.
I do have my old electric plane, but its way too beat up to sell to anyone…LOL
