I always recommend the Sig Kadet LT 40. It is basically the size of a 60 plane and flies nicely with a old 40 engine. If you wanted an even bigger plane, the Sig Kadet Senior is slightly larger. The plans are easy to follow and provide the beginning modeler with great tips to help you get started. The kit also contains a beginners guide to RC with some basics covered. Get ahold of your local club and get help starting out flying.
