Default Scale 2nd Plane

I’ve gotten back into the hobby again recently after a 12 year break. I built and flew two gliders back in the early 90’s because I didn’t want to mess with gas, and Electrics weren’t quite up to par at the time. However, I was walking through a hobby shop for the first time in years about 2 months ago and I couldn’t help but notice how much Electrics had advanced. So I ended up walking out of the store with an E-Flight Gypsy, Futaba 6EXA radio and a Thunder Power 1320 11.1v 3s lipo battery pack. I also order a Herr 1/2A Texan to build just for fun. I've been flying the Gypsy ever since, but now I'm ready for a second plane. I know I'm nowhere near ready to fly the Texan and I don't like non-scale planes, even if they are easier to fly. So I really want my second plane to be a scale plane, yet not too difficult to pilot. The three I like are the Watt-Age Cessna 182, the Hobby Lobby Pt-19, and the new Hobby Lobby Bird Dog. My question is, will I be able to fly either of those or will they just end up as a pile of garbage?
