What type of flying do you want to do? Thinking 3D? Sport? Pattern? A Edge 540 is an excellent frame and would probably make you very happy. I have a few of them and they are hands down my favorite.

There are lots of good reputable mfgr's of planes out there. Nitro planes would be the last one I would recommend to you and your a stranger. I would say check tower and horizon and look long and hard at all your options. They will seem endless.
