Each person has certain inherent abilities and certain weaknesses. I have no idea if you are a "natural" at R/C flying, but if you are, a 4* would work OK with good instruction. However, if you are like the majority of new students, this will be a difficult exercise for a while, & in that case a 4* would be a poor choice. Standard trainers are designed to make the initial learning steps as painless as possible -- and there can be a lot of pain. It's your choice, but my advice is to go for a standard trainer. When you have outgrown it, you can hop it up substantially & learn a bunch more from it, without having to buy a second plane until you have more definite ideas about where you want to go in this hobby.
