The se is fine, just turn the rates down and have someone experianced fly it first. At the recommended settings the roll rate will scare you. Along with the SE, I would recommend a couple profiles for your second plane. With the rates turned down real low they are just like a trainer. Once you get used to it turn up to max and there is a plane you will have a tuff time out growing. ie... Morris Sledge 540, EF Edge 540, Morris Top Cap, Carl Goldberg Extra, etc.... Easy to build from kit, easy to repair. Very light so a .46 will give you extraordinary vert.
