Here's one I reviewed a while back. The price has gone up since the review, but it's a great plane that I still keep around for training:

Mike: That sort of reminds me of the Midwest Aerobat.. high wing, no dihedral, pretty capable but pretty fair trainer response. Even at a slight higher price, $99.99, it seems to be a pretty good bargain for an ARF.

Since I am not a big fan of the PTS, I'd vote for that one.

If the OP wants a dihedral trainer, well, the Tower 40 ARF is also a good deal and a great trainer. However, the Wingman I would give something, that after it's role as a trainer, could be given a bit more aileron/elevator and made to perform a lot better, more like a good second plane.
