RE: first step into 4ch.
GWS E-Starter ? Cheap and you could put some of the parts into something more frisky later on ! You could even fly that without the ailerons until you're ok with it and then add them later on. The plane is easy to fly and flies slowly.
If you go brushless now and choose the parts carefully you could move the ESC, motor (say a BP-21) and servos to something like the Phase 3 Fidget.
Another option is to just go for something like the Fidget now, use low throws and built it light so that it flies as slowly as possible. That one is cheap to buy but it takes ages to build.

3dFoamy has some good planes, one called the "Citabria" is a profile foam trainer, and it can do 3d! Heres the link:

That picture on the page shows it with skis, but can have wheels mounted aswell.
