GWS Slow Stick.
Not pretty, but can handle some wind, and weight is not so critical. Easy to build too. Basically one evening's worth of work.
Just sub 5 min epoxy for the glue.

I'll second the plane recommendation and agree with the "do not use the glue provided in the kit" advice.
The Slow Stick costs about $35 and includes the motor. It will use just about any size radio gear.
You will need a motor controller(ESC), a couple of battery packs, and a charger.
Good Flying
