Here is what you need,, go to http://www.swanyshouse.com/index.aspx Buy a Mojo 60 kit,, build it. it's not hard and a good first time kit so don't let it scare you, I can build 1 in a week covered working 1 weekend and in the evenings after work. Get a Saito 100 end of story....



You will have one of the best planes for learning to hover, it is very tough so the everyday bumps and bruses of learning to 3d won't kill it.
And as you get better it won't limit you[8D]

Here is a video of one that has larger tail surfaces to make it a little wilder http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6pKU1LFvlMM


BTW it is a saito 100 This is the wilder MoAss version, the standard is a bit slower and gives ya time to think, a little better then the 40 size plane
