hi steven, a wing or a pusher plane is a good idea. Flyingwings.co.uk have some great kits, or maybe a hobby king axn floater jet, or bixler. Pushers are good as if you stuff it in, which yo may while learning,, all the spinny bits are out the way at the back.

Guys at Flying wings are good worth checking them out, had some issues with those hobbywing models. have a look at any high wing model like these :-

Props at back as mentioned already is a good idea. I started with similar to these and they was great

If you are a newbie i would recommend to watch at this list. You can buy new models after improving skills. Some have LED lights to navigate, some have cool design and are easy to maneuvr. Check it   out
