I'd probably try a web page called R/C Universe. It used to be R/C online. Its basically, the main website for R/C boards. Also, look at Hobby Lobby (not the craft store). Hobby Lobby is in TN. It imports odd stuff, mainly from Europe. They might have a variable pitch prop. The electric stuff has come down a lot in the past 5 years and more selection. Hacker (german) and Castle Creations (US I think) come to mind.
As far as radios its mainly a preference thing.Futaba, JR (Japan Radio) Hitech. I would probably look at one of the 2.4 Ghz systems. They are basically about $200. Servo wise, plenty to choose from. Digitals have come down a lot. Supposedly a bit better control.
I'd look at brushless electric motors. Basically, I think its some formula based on the weight of the plane and how many watts the motor has or how much thrust it will produce.
