A club member has one, but he's been flying 3D for quite a while. I'm guessing it's going to be a real handful for you, but at least it's foam, cheap, and easy to repair.

The real expense comes in if you power it sufficiently for 3D. It really requires a brushless motor (and ESC), plus LiPoly battery pack. The plane may be $35, but it requires at least $200 in flight gear.
