Be careful of going too much too soon, I speak from experience and destroyed a few which has been costly. I was flying a Hobbyzone Super Cub and got bored of it fairly quickly I went to a club and they suggested the Ultrafly PC9 I'd bought was too much and to get a Multiplex Minimag.
I ignored it at at my peril and detroyed the PC9 in seconds after they'd said to put it in the loft for 6 months then I bought the MiniMag. I've flown and flown that which has really taken my air time up and have just gone up to a Multiplex Acromaster but I wonder if that may be a bit too far for you too soon, the one down is the Multiplex Gemini, I haven't flown it but it's meant to be that much easier than the Acromaster and yet probably that much more aerobatic than the Minimag. If you're looking for a foamy then they're hard wearing and easy to build as well. Here's a link to a video clip I found, the one on the Multiplex site doesn't really do it justice http://www.rcmovie.net/view_video.ph...e=&category=mr
I've also put in alink to this store simply vbecause they give a simple scale one to 3 for both building ease and flying ease for each plane http://www.modelspot.com/mpx/mpxkits.htm
I've also tried the RTF route and have had transmitters that glitch to the extent of destroying a plane (Art-Tech Mustang) and again at my expense have realised it's not actually a saving in the long run especially when the dodgy equipment has destroyed the plane and not you !!!!!!
Hope that's of some help and Good luck !!!!!!!
