Any plane listed on this site is great for the beginner pilot. Some of the planes are scale if thats what your looking for.
Best of all, every plane will give you the best chance to get into the hobby and have fun straight away.
The best way to learn proberly is to join a club and get help from people who have been there and done that before, almost everybody at any club is more than happy to help new pilots learn the ropes.
