Brian, Here is a plane suited to your engine and servos that is VERY easy to build as it already has the surfaces hinged and pinned. It should fly well, with an instructor on a buddy cord, and give you the experience you need for bigger projects at an inexpensive price. I've flown and reviewed a few of the Phoenix planes and they all flew well and were all very easy builds. By the time you get it and put it together your instructor should be back. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMUY2&P=0
I'm sure there are others but these are REALLY easy to build.
