Glad you're still popping into the forums here to read and learn, Drifter81. The plane you were originally considering would likely be very difficult to control. It's a 2-channel aircraft where the throttle speed decides if it's climbing or descending and the plane is turned by varying the power supplied to the left and right motors. These kinds of aircraft aren't really controlled, the remote allows you to suggest what direction you'd like the plane to go. The plane may or may not listen to you depending on wind conditions and how much charge is left on the battery.

Small v-tail electrics can be challenging from a trim standpoint, too. One or two hard landings will result in a crooked tailboom and a skewed tail assembly, trying to get the plane to fly straight again after such alterations could prove really challenging.

Some of the better teach-yourself-to-fly electric RTF packages on the market include:

Hobbico Flyzone Mini Ventura RTF
Hobbico Flyzone Ventura RTF
Hobbyzone Super Cub RTF
Multiplex Easy Star

These ready-to-fly electric airplanes share a few similar traits. They all feature thick, stable fuselages that aren't going to get thrown out of alignment but a rough landing or two. They all feature a "t" tail configuration with a rudder and elevator for controlling the plane. They are all manufactured by well-known hobby companies and you can get spare parts through a local hobby dealer or through several different mail-order sources.

Considering the price range on these RTF airplanes runs from $89.99 to $179.99, they're all still very reasonably priced. All of them would handle slightly breezy conditions much better than the plane you were originally considering, as well.

Make no mistake, finding an AMA chartered flying club in your area and training to fly a 4-channel glow powered aircraft is the best way to learn to fly if you have the time and money to give it a try. If you'd really rather just spend a bit of your own money and spend some time at the local soccer field trying to figure things out, any of the above planes that I've mentioned should give you a fair chance of learning to fly on your own.

Good luck.
