Default Plane selection help

I taught myself to fly back in the late 80’s early 90’s and have not flown since.
I had a 3-channel front engine electric plane. I flew it many times till I had a crash that broke the front motor mount and bent the shaft of the motor. I was not able to get replacement parts so it sat for a few years. I then sold everything to a person I worked with who flies.
I’ve been kicking around the idea to get into flying again, for some time now. I do not want to spend much, around $100.00 for an ARF or RTF electric to fly in large open parks nearby.
I believe I want a rear engine plane so I do not have any motor damage if I crash. (Pros / Cons - rear vs. front engine planes?)
I also want a 3-channel radio so that I can hopefully remove the electronics to place in a new plane when / if I would want to upgrade.
So I’m looking for suggestions.
What I’m leaning towards at this time is the Aero Voyager RTF kit. Can anyone give me personal flying experience with this plane? (Pros / Cons, charging time, flying time, etc. etc)

And what other plane I might be overlooking and would want to look into with Pros / Cons, charging time, flying time, etc. etc
Thanks for your time.
