Here is a great suggestion, if you can find one.
My last plane was a Cub and I could fly it very well. I was looking for my first 4 channel plane and this was recommended to me by a good friend.
It was alot easier to build than I thought it would be. I took my time (about 6 hours) on different days. Probably asked way too many questions but I wanted to make sure I got it right. The first time I throttled up and let her go, she flew off like a dream I am so happy with this plane and it is capable of way more than I can do. But it also makes a nice slow flyer if you want.
It is the MS Composite Unique. They make several other good planes as well. This is an EPP kit and is hard to break.
