Hi Pete, I can recommend the Cutlass, built from free plans on Tony Elmore's excellent site. Fast and very cheap to build. I used an R/C PAW 1.5 with the throttle wired open. I fly on 35' lines and have a pal who launches it for me, as you can see no wheels used.
If you're nervous about twitchy controls, just move the CofG forward 3/8", it will fly like a trainer, readjust it when you want to try some aerobatics...........John
