There are a lot of decent all-inclusive RTF packages around these days that allow you to sample electrics without all the power system guesswork. If you're proficient at flying an ugly stick, I doubt you'll have any trouble with any of the RTF packages I can think of. What kind of flying are you looking for--aerobatics, a warbird, a relaxing 3-channel put-around-the-patch type? Take a look at the Parkzone lineup: Typhoon 3D, P-51 Mustang, Slo-V slowflyer, F-27 Stryker delta, Decathlon, and J-3 Cub.

The Easystar is a powered glider type, the Magister is a .40 size trainer electrified, and the Space Scooter is a nice aerobatic parkflyer.
