Tecstar1,
I put in another vote for the Sig SE, it's an excellent plane.
I wouldn't suggest using flaperons or spoilerons until you get familiar with the plane, they're not needed at all for good easy landings and will probably only complicate things for you at first. Fly the plane at the low rates listed in the manual with about 30% expo on elevator and ailerons because it will feel like quite a handful if all you've flown is a trainer. Once the plane gets some altitude, throttle back to about half until you get more comfortable with it. Good luck!
