Welcome,
Here's my free advice. Sounds like you're interested in electric slowflyers/parkflyers their is a forum here on RCU dedicated to that also ezonemag.com is dedicated entirely to electric flight.
As to what model you should get I'd do some research first.
Several things need to be answered first.
1 Will you be learning alone or with an instructor?
2 do you have a place that you are allowed to fly? (the bigger the better)
3 do you perfer kits or would you like the plane assembled?
There is no simple formula for chosing a first model and everyone here will have an opinion of what is right for you...
If you can I highly recomend visiting your local hobby shop and getting hooked up with a club. They can make this process much more enjoyable
My recommendation for a park flyer would be a GWS Tigermoth it flys slow is easy to assemble and repair. Others have their favorites.
