If you truly are confident that you are ready for something more than a basic trainer....take a look at the Hanger 9 Pulse XT. Can be flown as electric. On low rates the plane is easy to fly and very aerobatic on high rates. I have guys at my club that fly Funtana X100s, and are impressed by what I can do with the Pulse. Keep in mind though that it is not a 3D plane. Also know that start up cost for electric seems to be more expensive(to me) due to cost of the batteries. If you can go glow...I probably would. Lipo batteries can cost as much as the plane...and thats only for one or two flights. On glow you can fly all day as long as your RX packs are charged.


As far as planes without issue- seems as if all planes have their flaws in one way or another. Make sure you get someone that has experience to look over the ARF before/ as you build. There are always some areas that should be reinforced to be on the safe side.
