You mention foamies in one of your replies, if you want to start learning 3D given time you could do a lot worse mainly as they're so durable in comparisin and easy to repair and you'll probabably have need of that at some stage during the learning process.
I went from a Aileron trainer to an Acromaster with the rates set low to start, it can be quite docile and one of the club members just flies fast aerobatics with it and yet flick the switch and you can have a 3D monster if you want.
There's a link here that gives a reasonabel idea of what it's like http://airtoimedia.nl/web/upload/vdV...cromaster2.wmv
