I can endorse the Sky Scooter Pro II package as a good value for a good plane. I recommended it to a friend. I have flown his. Very nice plane.
However, I think the Aerobird Challenger is easier to fly and offers more fun options that the other planes just don't have. This month's Backyard Flyer has a review on the Challenger, if you are interested. The loved it! Links to Aerobird info is above.
