Default Which plane would be the best for me?



so, i'm after a plane to get me started again in the air side of rc, i'm into scalers more than anything, but a 1/10 ish bush plane would be awesome next to my scalers, not to mention a lot of fun!so these are the ones i'm considering:

so i'm looking at several planes,

http://secure.hobbyzone.com/HBZ7380.html i would get a dx5e for this one
http://secure.hobbyzone.com/MPU214235.html electronics suggestions needed
http://secure.hobbyzone.com/PKZ4500.html

tricycle gear ones, i'd prefer tail draggers since i don't exactly have a good run way where i'd like to be flying(scaler area of course)
http://secure.hobbyzone.com/EFL2725.html a bit big but still a contender

i'd really like to avoid a trike gear plane, it's just not what i want, but i am ok with getting one to learn on. you just wouldn't find a trike gear out landing in the middle of the woods in a clearing or on a river bed. Ido have no plane experience, but i'm good with cars. i do have orientation stuff down though from the cars, but i really don't know how to fly a plane.

any other suggestions for a plane would be great!but no ultra micros, i'd like to stick with the size of the hobbyzone super cub lp. and preferable a bush plane, and under $300 no matter what. thanks in advance!</p>
