Remember there is no such thing as the indestructible aeroplane,usually these kits are built so strong that they utilise heavy components which can make the flying machine too heavy with a high wing loading.
Better to build a light floaty high winger such as the well proven Super 60,Junior 60 type,that way you will be just steering a big docile model around the sky,which is just what you want as a beginner,then after literally hundreds of flights you can progress to something a bit more advanced,but it all takes time and the learning curve cannot be rushed.
Steer clear of agricultural type kits which purport to be indestructible beginners models ! they do not exist,probably alright in the hands of someone experienced but that is another matter.
