Well, if your wanting a fun to fly And easy to fly trainer, I recommend the
Apprentice 15e.
I am totally new to RC planes and my first two planes were Cessna 182's that said "for beginner to expert".... I can fly them but the control surfaces were so quick that it makes it uncomfortable for learning. The Apprentice 15e is Awesome!!! It's smooth, easy to fly, plenty of power and just makes learning less stressful.
