Brian, That plane is tiny. You need to get with a club. Here is a list of trainiers recommended by RCKen and lots of others on this board.

These planes are on the larger side. Much larger than what you are used to looking at. The larger frame makes it less prone to wind effects and easier to see and handle. Basically they are way more stable and easier to learn on but you need space (like a club, hint hint) and an instructor that you might find at a club. (hint hint.) :-)I wouldn't buy anything till I talked to the club and see if they have a club trainier for you to try. Plus the advice of a veteran goes a long way. I loved building so I buit a Midwest Aerostar 40 for my first plane when I was 14. I'm partial to it and love that plane but there are dozens of other ARF options that would be wonderful as well on this list. Just my 2 Cents! Take your time and have fun!
