Please don't confuse a "trainer" type aircraft with a teach-yourself-to-fly aircraft...

As suggested earlier: the Multiplex Easy Star is an excellent teach-yourself-to-fly aircraft. I've attached a picture of a retired model, for viewing.
You can also learn with the Wild Hawk (Jr. Hawk) from Nitro Models or Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/general...ane-94774.html
Or, fly a GWS Slow Stick, which is sometimes available with the electronics included: http://www.gwsus.com/english/product...ow%20stick.htm
Most HobbyZone products, includingtheforementioned SuperCub,are also decent for learning: http://www.hobbyzonesports.com/Products/Start.aspx
The Parkzone Slo V is a good option, too: http://www.parkzone.com/Products/Def...ProdID=PKZ1300

A powered glider will handle more windthan a slow flyer; but,please understandthat any rudder-only /3-channel airplane has difficulty landing with a cross wind.

Good Luck,
Scott
