I've got an CG Eagle II which flies well, but by far the easiest plane I've ever flown is by far a Lazy Bee. I was still learning to land, and had never done a solo landing with the Eagle II when I built a Lazy Bee (the larger span for electric, but with an OS .10). I took it out to the field and nobody wanted to take it up for its first flight because nobody had ever seen one. My buddy finally agreed to take it up for me, and after about two minutes in the air he handed over the controls. I flew it around, making a few slow-speed fly-bys to practice lining up on the strip when I decided I might as well just land it. Although I still couldn't land a 40 size trainer solo, I had no concerns going out to the local schoolyard and flying my Lazy Bee solo. As long as I had 6' of air under it, it was in no danger. I once flew it into a concrete garbage bin and only broke the leading edge spar between two ribs, about a 5 minute repair. Its not the prettiest airplane, but it is super easy to fly, cheap to build and power, is really easy on fuel, and takes very little time to build. Only thing to remember is that it doesn't handle wind well, but if you're learning to fly you should be avoiding windy days anyway. Clancy Aviation has a video you can purchase for ~$10. if you still have any doubts. An amazing plane!
