Default Some simple help needed

Ok, first of all I know this is the MOST common newbie question and half of you will just ignore this, but I need advice on which plane to start with. It definitely needs to be electric and very easy to learn with. I have flown a trainer with an instructor once in my life. However, I don't have the option of getting help or joining a club(i live too far away). So, even though i know it is dangerous, I am going to try and teach myself[X(]! On my property, i have a field about 400ft long and 100ft wide with trees around the edges(I know.......bad place to learn).........but i can walk to a small nearby baseball field that has softer grass and more open space. Ok, so to my question.......I have done many searches on this forum and am still confused as to which plane is right for me. The ones I am considering are the [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/hlwingo.htm]Wingo[/link](it has nice accessories like floats and looks pretty slow), the [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/tipsy.htm]Tipsey[/link] (i don't really like how it dosen't look like a !QUOT!real!QUOT! plane and has no wheels), the [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/minipiper.htm]Mini Piper[/link] (looks cool but may be hard to fly), and the [link=http://hobbico.com/airplanes/hcaa2004.html]Aero Cruiser[/link](also looks cool but may be made cheaply?????). Eventually, I will be flying on my property with trees and need something small enough to have fun with. Also, the plane needs to be slow enough for me to learn. If you have any suggestions of planes, tips, etc.......or comments on the planes I listed........or just plain out think I'm crazy please let me know........any advice it GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks
