We recently released a new plane that was designed ground up as a first trainer. It is called the Magpie. It assembles quickly, is very stable in the air, and is quite crashworthy. We will be offering a complete package containing transmitter, charger, etc as soon as all the parts come in. This package will be more expensive than many of the starter sets but will contain quality components that will grow with you.
The Magpie also has a second wing available that turns it into an aileron trainer for when you are ready to take the next step.
