If you can I'd join a club and get an instructor to help you, it'll make if far less expensive to learn and opens the door to a far wider variety of planes to start with.

If however that's not possible for whatever reason firstly I'd get a Simulator (would do this even if I did join a club) even if it's the cheap E-Sky one as it will massively help with orientation especially when the planes coming towards you and get as much time on it as possible.

2 of the best self taught electrics are either the Super Cub or the Multiplex EasyStar but you tend to outgrow them fairly quickly as you want to move onto aileron control.

The other possible but you'd wants lots and lots of Sim time first is the Multiplex MiniMag, it's designed so it can be set up to fly 3 channel to start with and then easily converts to 4 channels / ailerons as you get more exerience but carries a slightly higher risk from the start as the other 2 are better 1st planes and personally I had the MiniMag as a brilliant second plane after the SuperCub.
