I suspect that by "spad type", you mean something made of sign board or corrogated plastic that can be crashed without too much damage. If so, then you should check out the 'ManWin trainer" on the Balsa Beavers website - this link is to their Man Win page - the plans link is at the bottom of that page.

The plans show 18 degrees of engine offset, which is a bit more than you need if you have any experience at all, but you can always take out offset as you get more and more comfortable. You can pound this thing into the (soft) ground all weekend, and not hurt it.
It will do basic maneuvers and inverted flight.
