You should look for anything made by Parkzone. For around 250USD you'll get everything you need to get a model in the air. Best to start with something high wing that flies slowly like a Cessna or similar. I'd also fly it first time with someone who has done it before. Maybe find a local club and ask for help.

Depends how much you want to spend. You could buy something cheap, ready to fly for 100USD, or you could buy anything up to a twin gas turbine F-18 for 20,000USD. Depends how much your crappy software development job pays. LOL.

Spending my hard earned cash on my hobby. Building, flying and crashing radio control model airplanes. Gets me out in the fresh air (or rain and wind as we mostly get in the UK). Fairly vital after a long week in the office behind monitor. http://www.youtube.com/user/ditchit
