Another option as mentioned earlier is to build a SPAD. The Debonair SPAD is a 40-sized trainer that excluding engine and radio gear will only cost you about $25 to build. And this will give you enough material to build two planes. Plus, you can go from raw material to airborne in just two or three days. It weighs in at around six or seven pounds and handles wind very well. It also handles ground contact better than a balsa plane.
