For $300 you can get a ready to fly Apprentice 15S with the Safe System. 10 minutes of assembly, an hour to charge the battery, and you are ready to fly.

I strongly recommend getting a simulator package before you buy a plane. You can get all your crashing out of the way on the sim, and enjoy your plane's maiden flight with confidence. Real Flight 7.5 is about $175. A great investment in the hobby, believe me. It will more than pay for itself in saved wreckage if you take the time to use it.
