Have a look at the ULTRA cheap foam planes built from dollar store foam board. They go together with hot glue. If or should I say when they break, hot glue them back together. You can learn on one or 5 of them before you send your new plane skyward.

Now this is a very very long thread on this trainer. It has free plans you can down load. With all the motor, prop, ESC, servos that work with this. You can build several of them to learn on. They fly slow and easy. Just done get over whelmed by the size of the thread. There is so much information in there.
