Look at RCKen's list of beginner planes at the top of these forums. It is a stickie there since this question is so often asked.

You need to master cross wind landings, crabbing, etc. before moving onto something like the Pulse, lest your first cross wind landing with the Pulse end up ripping out your landing gear.

I think that the Pulse is a wonderful "second" plane, but if you are just coming of beginner foamies, you need to deal with a larger trainer first.
