Default Electric Model for Beginner?

Hi there,

I've been tasked with searching out a electric model for my younger brother (he's 10) as a Christmas gift. To be honest, I'm not sure where to start.

I have a personal preference when it comes to Sig models, the Kadet series in particular, but I really don't think my brother will have the interest to put one together.

Preferably I'd be looking for a model with similar flying characteristics as the formentioned Kadet, but as a RTF, Plug and Fly, or inexpensive to outfit ARTF? I've looked at the Seniorita EP and the Nexstar Mini, but both are a trifle expensive for someone who may or may not persist with the hobby.

Wingspan should be below 2000 mm, and although I know a balsa model would last longer, I have no preference between that and foam, especially if the cost becomes a factor.

Thank you, and all advice is appreciated!
