Anyone into R/C airplanes?

[BLINGMW]

Thinking about getting a beginner setup, I have very little experience or know-how. Just wanted to know if there's anyone on here that's into them.

I picked up a couple of these a year or so ago:

They're like $20-$30 each, 2 channel, no control surfaces, small enough to fly in a small field, large backyard (or warehouse!) and take a lot of abuse. And if you lose one, eh, no big deal. And I have fun flying them! Highly recommended if you've never tried it, pick up one of these. Harbor Freight caries some similar ones.

Any recommendations on a very small gas model I could try? I kind of like the idea of getting something like this, with only a 3 ft wingspan, and putting a tiny gas engine in it:

Did you know they make supercharged engines? Rotaries? Out of control. 8)
