Glider_man

Hi all. After going flying with some friends for the first time ever and really enjoying it I have come to the decision that im going to get my very own rc glider. i used to have i.c rc cars but got rid of them after plowing them into walls. at competitions and not having the money to keep fixing them. But anyway times are much better now and i need another hobby to keep me Sian. The glider that i was thinking about getting is the Spirit 100 Sailplane ARTF When im flying my friend will be with me working as a trainer so if anything where to go wrong he could just pick his transmitter up and take over.  So what do you think of this glider is it worth the money and will it be fun to fly? And for the transmitter will the JR X2610 Tx & Nicad be ok? thank you all for your help
