I think that a simple high wing .40 size gas trainer is a good bet. the hobbico avistar 40 slect is a great plane it includes everything neded to fly. including radio, and engine. you really can't get anything for uder $200 unless you get somthing used. the avistar is $400. also you must keep in mind that the $160 price tag on the ebay model almost definatly is only for the airplane and not the engine, radio, and other nessitys. you need to be prepared to spend $400. that is basicly the limit for new products. I would sugest going to a local hobby shop to talk to someone there and ask some questions. go with a Almost Ready to Fly (ARF) model and then move up to spending a year on building your own model. once you talk to someone at your hobbyshop you can then go to RCM.com or hobbypeople.net or buysomthing at the shop. I qouldn't sugest ebay for somthing like this, too big a pakage, too much money, you will probably need to buy other equipment, and it might turn out that the airplane dosn't fly.
