Any good low-wing sport plane would do well. I'd save the bipe for your next airplane. Take a look at some of the "intermediate" airplanes on this list:

Another option might be some sort of fun-fly plane with a large thick-wing. They can be a little wild with full throws but I imagine you'd do fine if you keep the throws tame for a while. They'll fly slow and don't need a lot of runway.<br type="_moz" />
