This is a great plane for a beginner. Get the Superstar Select as the radio and engine is already installed and the plane can be ready to fly in about half an hour or so provided you have charged the batteries. The plane comes with an OS 40 engine and Futaba radio. This is the plane I learned on and it is a very forgiving trainer. You'll be happy learning on it. When you outgrow it then just strip the radio gear and put it in your second plane, or get bit by the bug so bad ya buy a complete new radio, engine plane etc for your second (ask me how I know as i stare at 17 planes scattered about the basement).

Again welcome to the greatest hobby in the world. Just make sure you find a good club with good instructors
