I have another opinion, how about a World Models Skyraider Mach II? Cheap ($70.00), well-made, light with great slowdown characteristics, and ready for some great aerobatics when you are ready to tweek up the control throws a bit. Start learning with this tail-dragger model at throws about 60% of the manual specs and gradually increase as you gain confidence. This plane will go like a bat-out-of hell with a strong .46 and act like a *****cat when you throttle back.

It is a FUN plane to fly and you will not tire soon of its' potential...
