I think this might fit the bill for what you're looking for:

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXNHS0**&P=ML]Hobbico Flyzone Cessna 182 RTF[/link]

It's a little faster than the Hobbyzone Super Cub or the Parkzone Slo-V that I normally recommend for beginning pilots who want to learn on their own. The radio that comes with it does have a training jack on the back so it can be buddy boxed for flight training.

The video link on the page above will explain more of the features.
