Shameless plug for the NexSTAR ARF here! Every profresisonal review and every private owner has said they fly wonderfully, and while I haven't actually flown mine yet, I'm rather impressed by it. It also seems to be fairly sturdy, I've accidentally kicked it quite a few times in my sleep(It hangs on the wall by the foot of my bed) and there's no damage.

Tower shipped mine for 109.99. I think now it's up to 139, but they're also doing their typical e-coupon thing so you can probably bring that down 10 or 20 bucks.
