It is difficult to recommend a plane to someone without being able to see their flying and judge their skills. Generally, most low wing sport planes fly better than do high wing trainers. That is, they go where you point them rather than trying to roll out of every turn.

As for low wing planes, you can't go wrong with a 4* of any size. The Goldberg Tiger 2 and Tiger 60 are also excellent. The Super Sporster has already ben mentioned and it is a good plane. For an inexpensive 40 size, the new World Models Sky Raider Mach II is super. Retail is $69.95 for the complete ARF and our local hobby shop was selling them for less than $60! They were all snapped up in a few days. It's a tail dragger, but you can slam the power to it and it tracks straight. Excellent first tail dragger.

4*'s tend to be trainer-like with the full length wing. Many people lop off 1 rib on each side for a quicker roll rate. The landing doesn't seem to be affected. I have seen 4*40s with 2 ribs off on each side that would roll like a bandit and still landed pretty decently.
