Actually, since you never mentioned a budget, I'd definitely recommend as an excelent trainer aircraft is a Hangar 9 Alpha .40 Trainer.
I actually started off my flying with the much larger alpha .60 trainer(Proof, because I can. :3), but I loved every minute of flying those things. There's a reason why RC flying clubs keep a few on hand for the purpose of buddy boxing with new flyers! (An example of what a buddy box is if anyone doesn't know.)
It may not be electric, but that means there's no batteries to charge often, just one to charge overnight hooked up to the receiver to run the servos. Maintainence on it or god forbid crash repair, will gain one very valuable experience when it comes to advancing in the hobby of airplane modeling.
On top of that, it flyes very, very well. Once you get experience flying it, you can just change the prop size out for something that will make it fly much faster, allowing for some fast flying, making it a fun plane to fly until you accidentally destroy it beyond repair, or never do that and keep it for the rest of your life.
LAST THING!
Buy a good RC flight simulator that works with an actual transmitter, like realflight 7.5.You can put in anything you would ever want to fly and get used to flying it and build up skill that will help a whole lot when you head out and fly the real thing. That includes 3D helicopters you can play with and destroy until you figure out an advanced maneuver you want to try in real life. It worth the money in aircraft crashes and really gives you a chance to actually practice very risky maneuvers with planes without having to crash and repair several times.
TL:DR; Just thought i'd add my two cents, I may not be one of the biggest experts out there or anything, but I have been flying for a month shy of seven years!
Edit: I love how I'm getting downvoted because I'm not talking about cheap foam planes or quadcopters with FPV in mind. This is /r/radiocontrol, Not /r/fpvquad.
