First question is, will your friend be teaming with a tank a lot? If not it may be a rather frustrating first toon...
Elec/Fire does really wonderful PBAoE damage right from very low levels, but without someone tp draw the aggro away you'll wind up very dead, very quick.
Much as I love flight on many toons, I wouldn't reccomend it for this build - either SS for setting up PBAoEs or Leaping for Acrobatics would be better.
The core attacks all come early, which is nice - Ball Lightning, Combustion, Fire Sword Circle and Short Circuit make up an attack chain that will pretty much wipe out entire spawns and leave bosses with a sliver of health.
My own E/F is in the mid-40's and currently not being played much as altitis has had me on villains instead. I could post his build if it would help, though.

Ooh yes his build would be helpful 
Hey Guys,
Right I have a friend joining CoH very soon, and he wants to try an elec blast/fire manipulation blaster as his first toon. Can any of you suggest a good build for him? (iirc he wanted fly as his travel power, and stamina is a must).
Thanks in advance and I hope you can help, I'm useless on these builds unless you're talking about energy!
