Default Picking my plane

I need some help picking my first plane. I cant stand the box looking trainer planes but don't want to get in over my head. Please help!!! I have taken your advance and have narrowed it down to the few trainer types that I can stand. A couple of them are not listed as "" trainers but I was told they would make good first planes. If anyone has any opinion on any of these makes and models please give me your opinions.
PS I would like to get into flying warplanes if that should factor in to my decision.?!

Falcon Trading Company
1.Ready 2
2.Jupiter-low wing
3.Aerostar .40

Groupner
1. Traniner 65

Global
1. AT-6 Texan
2.RCM Trainer 40

Hanger 9
1. Aristi

Seagull Models
1. PC-9

Super Flying Models
1. Eindecker 46

Thanks so much for the help!!!!

If you haven't flown before stick with planes that have the word Trainer in their name

The only plane in your group that I would suggest is the RCM Trainer,the only thing is I have built a few Global planes and they let a bad taste with me. Anything other than a trainer is going to be a little harder to learn to fly,

Default Tower Trainer 60

I just flew my Tower Hobby Trainer 60 today for the first time and its a great flying plane. I have a TT 46 pro on it and it is plenty of motor for it and it is very stable in the wind.
