I wouldn't recommend the Pete N' Poke because it won't recover very well if it snaps. It takes a bit more discipline to avoid risks when flying this plane, plus it is considerably more fragile than even a scale Cessna. And this makes it even less forgiving. Stay away from the Pete N' Poke for now. It's for experienced pilots who want some relaxed Sunday flying and is a reasonably easy build for them, not beginners.

If you want a kit, among the easiest would be the Goldberg Tiger 2 or Sig Four-Star. The Sig Mid-Star, in fact, would offer more simplicity than the other two choices. They are more agile and quick than a primary trainer and will do most of what a sport plane will do, and for this reason you won't have to restrain yourself as much from experimenting "just to see what it will do". They will also recover from stalls quickly and are less prone to spins, so you'll stand a better chance of not crashing if you dumb thumb while 3 mistakes high. Trust me.
