+1 on that, at least you can glue a foam plane back together.
I have been thinking about one of these myself (http://www.xtremehobby.ashop.com.au/...propeller.html), not too small or light, cost effective, take off on a dime, get pretty good reviews, I've seen videos where they 'bounce' pretty well when it goes wrong, and can be glued back together if they don't (within reason of course). For myself, I think it'll be a good aircraft to leave in the trunk of my car when out of town on business, and it don't look half bad too!
