for a first plane, i would say go with a BVM Bobcat Composite .. it is as easy to take off and land as it gets and not bad tendencies .. it will let you grow with it and push it when you are ready also (unlike the boomerangs , etc .. ) look up some videos of this plane .. fast, slow, gentle, hard .. it will do anything ... only thing is its not completely axial in precision aerobatics because of the engine being mounted at an angle .. If you prefer scale, a number of the F-15 ARFs on the market would be great, or even better, something like a Viperjet ARF
