3D planes are a lot of fun, but they are somewhat limited as general purpose flyers. They are very lightly built and don't stand up well to rough handling -- something that you will probably give one at your current state of development. Additionally, if you want any speed forget 3D planes -- they have huge control surfaces that are prone to flutter at any interesting speed, and that will literally rip them appart. An aerobatic sport flyer like one of the 4-Stars, or even an Ultra Sport if you are cautious, would probably be a better choice.
