Need plane advice
I need advice on a good plane that has ailerons. This is my first aileron plane. Would like suggestions of planes that are capable of flight time of 10 min or more and can take some wind.

SwitchBack Sport would be great. They are a quick build and fly very well.
The Dandy witht he sport wing would be good also.
Check out Doug's site:

How about the R/C Foam Flyers Jalapeño? You can find info on it at www.foamflyers.com!
This little jewel can be set up to be an aileron trainer with a 6 cell, 750 mAh NiMH and give about 12 min flight time on the GWS IPSD (7.2 volt dual motor) drive. When you get comfortable with ailerons, move the CG back and you have a real stunt machine!
Unlike most balsa and foam arfs out there, the Jalapeño can hit the ground and be reserected in minutes, and only costs $2.80 in material to build from scratch! Best yet, building time from walking into your shop to test flight, about 3 hours! On most of your airplanes you won't even have the glue dry in that time!
Happy Landings,
Mike

Hmm I may have to build a Jalapeno 
I'm sold on foam planes after my Hall Effect 3D plane has survived many crashes from 20-50' and never required more than 5-10 minutes to fix.
