Hi Matt, me again,
My vote would go with the Champ (but the mini Super cub would also be good).
I started with the Champ and could fly it straight off the bat (started on half rates and it was easy) but it can't take more than a breath of wind otherwise you, and it, will struggle, but it is so easy to fly, and importantly toland, it's ridiculous, you can just let it glide in and hit the ground softly - no damage. On a calm day I couldn’t think of a better plane to learn to fly on.
I also have the Skyartec Cessna 182 mentioned earlier and it is a cheap but well made plane, but its way bigger and its FAST, very fast for a first plane so you need tons of space to fly it first up! It also has ailerons so is trickier as well, make it a second or third plane.
The Super cub has the preservation mode (or whatever they call it) built in which stops you from crashing, I haven't got one so I don't know, but I think you would also need some serious space first up as these things do cover the ground quicker than you first imagine.
Another you might consider as a first plane that is docile and can take a bit of a breeze is a Multiplex Mini Mag _ I have one and its great, about the same size , actually probably a bit biggerthan themini Super cub but I think it has more forgiving flight characteristics. Only downside is that it comes as a kit only and although it comes with a build video that takes the German guy about 5 minutes to build it took me the better part of a day.</span></div>

lot easier to fly than the Blade 120 SR you have.
