Default need help picking out the best first plane

I have never really flown a plane before, but my friend has shown what to do and how to do it with his large scale planes. I was looking at the Parkzone J-3 Cub from Horizon Hobby (info at http://horizon.hobbyshopnow.com/prod...p?prod=PKZ1100) and i really like the piper cub, the simplicity of putting this plane together, and how it includes all the batteries and the charger that I need, and also how inexpensive it it. My friend suggested that I dont get it simply because it was electric and that it doesnt have airlerons (spelling). What would you suggest, this plane or smething else. Also, is there a way I can use a larger capacity battery, a 600 mah pack doesnt seem like much. Would it be possible to use a battery pack used for r/c cars, or a receiver pack used for one? i know this is a lot to read, but im new and i want to learn some things.
