Default RE: Good First Planes

I am a expert pilot, looking for a good second plane for my elderly Dad. He lives in the middle of nowhere so, training sessions are during tri monthly visits. He has, however learned to fly on a Slo-V. His first few flights were dramatic, but he can now maneuver it with authority. It has taught him well enough for me to let him fly my Furious 3-D, which he flew well, with me watching over him, I will not let him fly the .90 Funtana! Now, I want to get him a second plane, with full house 4 channel control. It has to be Slo-V slow, but I would like something Brush-less, powered by lithium. Capable of loops, rolls, wing-overs and such, at very mild speeds, very stable flight, nearly indestructible (NO Wood!), easy to build - (RTF) or close to it, and inexpensive. I see Horizon now has a little Cessna, but they say nothing about performance, only how easy to build, Any thoughts on that plane or any other?
