If you want a simple outdoor micro for a first timer, I would recommend the parkzone micro cessna 210 centurion. Usual cost is 150. That is a 3 channel 17 gram plane that will fly indoors or outdoors. If you look at the thread for that plane you'll find a couple of links for the plane that are less.
I'll check back in a while.

Excellent suggestion. I got one a couple of weeks ago and I really like it. I had never flown anything but an Aero Ace, but I got on to the Cessna after just a few flights. I would think the radio equipment would work in a Guillows, but you better check with someone who has more experience than I do on that part. I see one place is offering them for 120 dollars with free shipping. I paid 135 dollars plus tax at a LHS.
