I just ordered an Edge 540 from Fancy Foam. You can get just the plane, or you can get a package that includes everything you need to fly it, except the transmitter, charger, glue, and paint. I went this route because, like you, I have no experience with foamies. I have flown RC for many years but am clueless when it comes to electrics. I have heard that Fancy Foam has an excellent set of instructions, too. Good luck.
