Default Ready for 3-channel?

Hello all!
Another Newbie here, just wondering if I should try a real 3-channel plane...
What I want: Looking for something like a Ventura, or Cessna type, no elevon mixing for now...
What I have flown: Countless 2-channel, airhogs stuff, but my favorite is an Estes "Skyranger" 2-channel (rudder and motor) Cessna which I have been able to fly VERY high, and in excess of 10 minutes at a time. When it finally comes down, the motor barely runs!
Also, ALOT of time with an Airhogs Stormlauncher, which I have crashed a few times, top flap is removed, and I have now mastered upsidown flight, and stalls, and loops, even under very windy conditions (I am learning about the Wind factor), but I know this "boat" flies very differently from a real airplane...
Any help is appreciated, I would hate to run a nice airplane into the ground...
