I would go with a Slow Stick if I was you. I'm trying to teach myself and I'm glad I went with the SS. I can actually keep it in the air now and getting better at controling the plane. You want something pretty forgiving if your just learning to fly. Like Matt said you need a plane that will try to correct itself if you let go of the sticks. That way if you get in a bind you can just let go of the sticks and the ol' SS will straighten right up. Plus for only $35 dollars you can't go wrong. Actually I just purchased a new kit from my LHS and it was only $32. Good luck with whatever plane you go with.
