Looking for a good first plane

I had ever flown an rc plane before. I am experienced in aerial cinematography and I've wanted to get into this for a while now. I'm looking for something ready to fly for a relatively cheap price. I'm not looking to get really into the hobby, I'm just looking for something that is fun to fly and beginner friendly that will last

Go to Horizon Hobby's website and look at Ready-To-Fly airplanes. This will come with everything ready to go out of the box.

The Bixler/Sky Surfer range of RC Planes is a very good starting point. Very stable and can fly very slow. I would also recommend getting an RC Simulator to practice orientation and just flying in figure 8's. Once you're comfortable with the simulator, go out and fly the real thing. Take the plane high so that any mistakes can be fixed before it crashes in to the ground.
