I would go with the Hobbyzone Super Cub LP. It's the lipo version and will handle the 5-10 mph winds better than any of the micro planes. The small micro planes really need to be flown indoors or dead calm days; no wind. If you have too much wind; the little micro planes don't have enough motor or weight to overcome the wind. They can get carried off by the wind if not careful and then you would come home with nothing.

The Cub is roughly the same size as the T28, but it is a top wing plane. It is more forgiving than a bottom wing plane as well. If you get into trouble (and have enough altitude) with the Cub; you can cut the throttle and let go of the "stick" and it will pretty much right itself.

It had been 25+ years since I had flown a plane and when I decided to get back into it; I started with the Super Cub (LP version not out then). After flying it for 6 to 8 months and fealing comfortable with whatever was thrown my way; I then moved back into nitro / gas planes. For $180 you can get it ready to fly. Go to You Tube and check out some of the videos on this plane. It's a nice park flyer. Just my 2 cents.
