I agree in full with MJF but would like to introduce the factor age! In one of my past I have been a teacher/instructor for a lot of things none mentioned none forgotten but a few in the aviation and model (UAV 's not the least)
So what I suggest is to come up with what you want to do with your A certificate if isn't just to say you have one.
In either case full house I would say is a must and to learn to use your left hand and tackle wind at take off and landings....of course every one should have a model for those very rare perfect evenings. Reality is that a good model don't fear wind but the pilot might.
You might laugh but try to wipe your back lefthanded if you're right handed, at the end it's a matter to make you brain halfs to cooperate.
For your choice of model see what is your clubs preference first as they might have a club trainer.
If you feel on the younger side an Ugly Stick/RCM Birdie 40/Falcon 56 would be a good choice but if you feel age is catching up I would suggest a Kadet or a Telemaster.
The key in the choice of trainer is that as your proficiency increases it should still be fun to fly as nothing trains you as practicing and also in breeze days.
