I wouldn't recommend it at all. It will be a lot harder to control than you think and it will probably go pretty quick which means more splinters or hunks when it crashes. Something like the J-3 Cub from parkzone anything that is a high wing. You will be able to sell it when you are done and buy something flashier. And you will have the experience needed to move up. The sim will def. speed up the learning curve though. I have a Jato and had it before i got into planes. the basic RC experience helped me but that was it.
