I dont' believe that would be a good plane for a beginner The ad also states:
NOTES FROM OUR TECH DEPARTMENT
This is an Almost-Ready-to-Fly, Electric Powered,
Great Planes Firebat Deluxe Airplane.
For Intermediate to Advanced Modeler/Flyers.
Recommended for modelers who have had trainer airplane experience and
also have safely flown/landed high-wing planes.

Keep in mind the accessories you will need to have this plane ready will add up quickly. I would suggest the Aerobird or similar for your first one, they are extremely durable and fixable.

Here is a link to someone that has it. Your LHS should have it as well: http://www.atlantahobby.com/shopexd.asp?id=960
