Are you stuck on the electrics? Some of the cheaper ones won't do what you want. You can get into a 40 size nitro plane like a Falcon 3 from Goldberg that would not be hard to fly, but once you learn can do many aerobatics. Most electrics don't have the power to do much other than hold themselves in the air. I guess when I say most electrics, I mean the cheap ones. GWS makes a lot of them, but they are flyable, but thats about it. Some of theirs are getting better, but I wouldn't suggest learning on them. Some of the more expensive planes with electric motors are pretty awsome in the air like the Flubber and Jumpin Jack, but they wouldn't take a crash that you will have when learning. Hard to make one fit the mold you are looking for.

Have you got someone to help you learn? That is a big plus. If you are going at it alone, I would suggest the G-2 sim first, followed by one of the cheaper electrics that take a beating, but are not as fun to fly. If you go to something that will do aerobats, you will trash it before you learn to fly it.
