Wow! You guys have a lot of faith in the original poster to pick out a foamy or plans for a foamy, construct it, select his own power system including ESC, motor, servos, and receiver, and then get it trimmed out and flying all on his own.
So far, mrcoolpop has managed to open the box to his Nexstar Select RTF and screw together his wing halves and tail surfaces. I sure wouldn't discourage him from giving a depron scratch-build a try if he feels up to it, but a Parkzone RTF or GWS kit would give him a much better chance of success if he is brand new to model-building.
ditto i even think that building a good fomie is hard and an arf will be better
