best budget Begginer / Trainer plane preferably rtf and able to land n short places

[cravo]

Hi, good morning to all, hope you are fine and enjoying the hobby.
I am trying to get into the hobby and would like to have some options.
I am looking for a plane that is easy to learn and it does not need a specific place to land (i think its called stol plane).
I have checked some from FMS
i checked these 3 option:
fms ranger 1200mm wing span rtf

https://www.fmshobby.com/products/fms-1220mm-48-ranger?_pos=2&_sid=bef010a36&_ss=r

fms pa-18-1300mm wing span also rtf with gyro (big landing gear and air filled tires) rtr version as well

Fms Kingfisher 1400mm PNP

FMS - Maule 1500 wing span

https://www.fmshobby.com/products/fms-1500mm-maule-pnp-with-floats-reflex-v2?_pos=1&_sid=d34a37a66&_ss=r

the downsize is that the maule i need to buy extra the transmitter receiver and batteries
i have some 3s 2500mah 25c that i can use from another rc.
I would like to hear some experienced people what they think about it.
I liked more of the blue Maule but i will have to spent more and i dont have much space to keep it so probably i will have to disassemble for transport and to keep it.
the ranger i liked it but to land in rough terrain with the flexible landing gear in the front i thing its a no go (but would like to hear your opiinions)
The PA-18 1300mm is in between, the tires are air filled to absorve the bumps but no floats included and of course not so great appearence as the 1500 Maule.
I am open to check other options / configurations as well.
what is your advise?
And the duration of this EPO planes with no hinges on the rudder, flaps and elevator, is it easy to repair?
Does it last long to need to repair those hinges? Best way to make a permanent solution?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Best regards.

The best selling RTF or BNF is now the Aero Scout hands down with the mini Apprentice S running a close 2nd around here. My Older brother has both and He prefers the Aero Scout by Far. I just picked up a new V2 BNF and am using it for Instruction purposes We have a lot of people stop by to watch and ask I would love to do this but really do not want to invest that much money only to crash it. Then I get out the Aero Scout and give them a flight or two.The look on their Faces is Priceless after they make the flight. I set these three up for instruction (wireless instruction) on these two transmitters today

I don't see either round here, maybe one of each in all the years. But those are cheaper. AMA still calls out the Apprentice as the recommended club trainer. We have three for training at our club. I have two myself, one for training and another for FPV combat and/ or float flying.
