The SE would work fine with your level of training. As suggested, turn the low rates on your radio way down untill you get used to it. It is a very responsive and fun plane. It will float in like a trainer with just a little head wind due to the FAT airfoil. I had a 46FX on mine and wanted more. I had the throws maxed out all the way around and it was a blast. Build it light, set up the low rates LOW and go have fun. I miss mine, sold it a while back[&o] Have fun. Remember to always use a new rubber band to hold the wings together, or use a zip tie, I saw an SE fall to its death because of an old rubber band failing and one wing flying off[] Go buy one, you'll understand what I mean. They are great planes[8D]
