Default rc plane virgin

Hello. I'm looking to get a simple and cheap rc plane to see if I even like the hobby. I currently have a nitro buggy and use it at a disused airfield and thought I could give a plane a go. I have found a simple 2 channel twin motored thing for about £30. It has a V tail. Can anyone explain how the controls will work - I guess throttle and altitude are basically combined (faster = climb & slower = dive) and there is no roll control to speak of. Will the plane be 'self leveling'?
I think jumping straigh into 4 channel will be a bit much for my brain so this does sound appealing. I'd appreciate anyone feedback on these kinds of planes.
Also can anyone point me at good beginner rc plane web sites please.
