Im just going to buy a more advanced plane. No point in wasting money, I can 3D helicopters which are way harder to fly, so a little plane will be fine, plus I have a sim!
I don't think you'll have a hard time with a plane that is a little more advanced than a trainer, but I would lean towards a plane that is built a little tougher than the Hobby City one you are considering.
I am a big fan of HC and buy a lot of motors and batteries from them, but I would probably not buy a plane from them. Like others have said, this plane has a lot of bits that can break. It is also a bit complicated with the flap setup and spring-loading landing gear. I buy things from HC knowing that it would be too expensive to return a defective product. I take my chances. If this plane arrives broken, you will either have to fix it yourself (maybe not too difficult), be out some return shipping, or eat the whole cost of the plane.
I'd lean towards a Horizon or Tower product where you know you will get great service, or something from your LHS.
Good luck
