I took a look at this plane, and I like what I saw. It's H9, so it will have good parts, hardware, a good manual, and commonly found covering for repairs (inevitable). I like the size (63" wing span) because these are easy to see and more stable to fly. The wings have less dihedral, and are semi-symmetrical, so with more throw in the controls, it will be capable of some moderate aerobatics when you are ready to advance.

Now, for a word of caution. Some of the fetchers that make this a good second airplane, will also make it slightly harder to learn with as a first. Notably, the semi-symmetrical wing and lower dihedral. This wing will be less forgiving than a true, high lift, flat bottom wing. Dedicated trainers all have the flat bottom type wing to give the airplane an inherently stable platform. What this means for you is that you will be called upon to fly this plane out of trouble more than a flat bottom. Not a problem if you follow the advice of many in this thread, and seek the help from local, experienced pilots, hopefully in a nearby club. With a trainer cord hooked to your radio, your instructor will easily get you beyond the stage where this could be a problem. As you gain confidence and experience, you will enjoy what this particular plane can do.

Get the plane, make some RC friends (lots of guys love to help newcomers), and let them walk you through the assembly and setup, then go have some fun flying. And don't forget about your buddies here on RCU.[8D]
