I think this is a good choice.

although not a beginners plane it can fly rather docile at low speeds. and you having a few flights shouldnt have much trouble.

the hardest thing you probably will have with it is the launch. you will need to toss it, then gain control of it, then add power. once you get it down its no problem but can be a bit confusing to someone new.

if you cover it in two diffrent colors it will help with orientation. I recently gave mine one red elevon and one green so that I have a better Idea of the direction its flying (I put it in once due to my loosing track.)

to land just cut power (dont want to touch with the prop going) and bring it in close to the ground, then just let it bump the ground and it will stop. you have to TRY to hurt these to do any damage.

again they are not a trainer and may be hard for you to get used to but they are so much fun (esp when you got 3 people up in the air with them all trying to "tag" each other.) and it will last you for a long time.
