Gareth,
I would advise locating and going along to your local RC flying club as they should always be willing to help newbies with both the building and flying aspects.
Even if they are not into scale gliding, most modelling aspects are common to all types of building & flying.
You may even find a member who has a suitable model to buy 2nd hand, although you will likely still need at least a transmitter/receiver.
Note that a scale glider is probably not the best RC glider model to learn to fly with in the same way that a Spitfire is not the best power model to start with.
