I've flown one with a park 450 in it, good flying plane also if you want to stay electric! But it may be more difficult to convert to glow later if thats what you have in mind. I mis-read what you said about your rc experience, upon reading it again, you might consider a foamie until you get a little more experience. I usually reccomend a Super Cub for begginers. But if you're dead set on starting out 4 channel, you might look at the Skyartec Cessna, or something similar. E-flite apprentice is also very good but is pretty expensive for something you are probably going to crash a few times while learning.
