Try the Tiger Moth. it is slow, stable, and with Dad there to teach you some basics you'll be an aerobatic pilot in a short time. I do hope your "yard" is a big enough yard[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]:
I'll add that you should do all the reading on flying, available aircraft, batteries, motors, esc's, servos, and lots of stuff, not just about your transmitter.
THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE BETTER IT'LL GO![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
