Default RE: Best plane for a beginner?

Well, I have a glider that I tried to teach myself with and that didn't work. I crashed it into a telephone pole and that shredded the wing. Then I got a "toy" plane. It was a Watt-Age, 2-channel J-3 cub. That one didn't fly at all. In the mean time I've visited the local flying field and talked to some people. At one of there flying events I got to train on a nitro trainer with a buddy cord.

I'm pretty sure I want to do electric so I don't have to buy all those accesories. I would like to get a plane with ailerons because that is all I use on my simulater (FMS). My plan is to do a buddy cord with one of the guys at my club.

Is the Watt-Age Super Impress good? My parents want me to get somthing I can use for a long time instead of getting one for beginning then another once I'm a better flyer. A buddy cord reduces the risk of crashing right? So wouldn't it be better to get a plane with the motor in the front?

Thanks
