Start with a trainer. Although those above have said stay away from a foam airplane, they haven't flown a NEW foam airplane. I've been teaching folks to fly RC at TORKS in OKC since 1996 and I am extremely impressed by this airplane and the crash-proof technology that comes with it:

I see many guys flying those at my field. They seem to fly very slowly which is good for someone new. Personally I prefer the rumble of an internal combustion engine but I'm sure those are a more hassle free way to jump into the hobby.
