A park flyer would be my number one suggestion because they are cheap to purchase and typically can be fixed with glue and a little elbow grease if you do happen to have a bad crash. If you do want to a full bodied remote control plane to start off with I suggest you make sure it has a few of these characteristic.<span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt"> A good trainer style airplane will have these basic characteristics: a tricycle landing gear, low center of gravity, and wings that are angled and flat bottomed. A tricyclelanding gear means that the RC airplane has 3 fixed wheels which allows for more directional control when taking off and landing then those with the tail dragger style landing gear. A low center of gravity means that the wings arelocated above the fuselage which helps to keep the plane flying some smoothly. When the wings are located below the fuselage then the center of gravity is high on the airplane and gravity is always trying to make the plane fly upside down. The wings of the RC airplane make up a large portion of its body and should have a dihedral angle which forces the airplane to self-correct into a straight and level flight path if the controls are released during flight. The wings should also be flat bottom which causes the air traveling over the wing to go at a slower pace than the air flowing below the wing allowing the airplane to sustain flight at a slower speed.
