Default RE: Start with old Global Freestyle 46 or get a smaller plane?

That Global Freestyle is too aerobatic to make a good starter plane. That's something you'd only want to fly after mastering a couple of more gently-flying planes first.

eHobbies.com has a terrific sale price right now on various Thunder Tiger trainer supercombos, with the airframe, engine, and radio system all pre-installed and ready-to-fly. You can buy the Pegasus .40 super combo with GP-42 engine and Hitec Laser 4 radio system for $219.99, or the Tiger Trainer .60 super combo with GP-61 engine and Airtronics VG400 radio system for $279.99:

Thunder Tiger also sells their Side Kick flight accessories pack for $29.99 that includes all of the basics to get your new glow trainer in the air except fuel:

You should get yourself a trainer package and and start out with something more suitable to learn on. You'll be flying your Freestyle in a season or two.
