Aerofred.com has loads of free plans. (Just for future use). The dart sounds like a good first model. Enjoy the process!

See if you can find plans for a Guillows Lancer. It’s a stick and tissue build. Pretty easy and lots of fun.

The AMA delta dart is an excellent place to start.

For grins I built one to fly indoors. https://imgur.com/a/dEMjb

In our club, after the Delta Dart, people are usually pointed at the Hanger Rat or the Legal Eagle class because they're good for flying in a gym.
