I learned completly by myself...with no MAJOR crashes.

I learned on the ParkZone Super Decathlon, but I would not reccomend this plane to you as it will not keep you occupied for too long.

I would suggest the 4 ch Cessna from Parkflyers.com, just make it a 3 channel to start and add the ailerons when you are ready, but buy the 4 channel version. They are all over ebay as the Art-Tech Cessna...check it out.
