No-one has suggested the 3 channel Wing Dragon. Easy to fly, very hard to break, standard componentry. Will fly very slow without stalling, because of the large high-lift wing. Lots of dihedral. Gives beginners a real chance to succeed even without help. Very inexpensive.

When you are ready to graduate from 3 channels, there is the new Wing Dragon Sportster, 4 channels, a little less dihedral, a lot more power, same servos, same ESC, same receiver, 4 channel version of the same transmitter. Many of the parts are also common.
