second time around
Any plane is good if you have a good instructor. Ok, maybe not the edge. Get yourself something like a goldberg falcon III if you want a faster better trainer. Build it with no dihedral and it will be a great plane. You can learn on it because it is stable, and you can also do more fun stuff with it because you left out the dihedral. I have an ugly stick build this way and anyone could land it. It is great in the air, still handles like a trainer, but rolls and snaps like crazy when you want it to. My friends has dihedral and is boring to fly because it will not roll well. When we do formation landings, I can slow down as much as he can and have no tip stall issues. The falcon would do the same.
