Hi
GWS SS or TM is not aerobatic... they only loop after a dive, and I wonīt call that aerobatic.
Rather get an EPP plane such as Swift (flying wing, cheap and indestructable) or Expert, EPP plane, very durable, and very aerobatic, hovers too =) dunno who sells it in US... maybe Nesail
hobby-lobby.com Cobra or Eagle should be fine too very cheap stuff....
Expert on the Pic, 10,5oz, flies unlimited aerobatics for up to 20min.

The Pigi3D that Hobby-Lobby sells (www.hobby-lobby.com) looks to fly very well. The video they have on their website of it flying is very impressive. I don't have one because I just purchased a Mountain Models (www.mountainmodels.com) Tantrum, which is a balsa model, but I think the Pigi would be more durable and be a better "teacher" plane.
I learned aerobatics with a Zagi (www.zagi.com). You lose the ability to do rudder manuevers, but you can't beat the durability of these things. My Zagi taught me to fly and is still going strong.

A good friend of mine bought a slow stick and he acn hover it 
It won't really roll because of the lack of ailerons but it might barrel roll.
About the only maneuver my Tiger Moth could do well is a tailslide. Now I have to re-glue the cabanes on due to the stress of falling out of a tailslide

Pigi is nice too, but I thini a smaller one would be more durable for a newbie, for ex hobby-lobby Cobra.
GWS Estarter will split in to many pieces if crashing... go for EPP!!!
3DF,
yes, I guess I can hover a SS a bit too, but he canīt as he only flew a firebird outlaw before
