Well personally I would get a plane from 3FOAMY.com for my next 3D foam plane. I currently have an Eflite Ultimate and it is okay, but these electrics are not cheap. The included motor with the Ultimate is a joke. The plane will fly, but just barely with the stock motor. By the time I got a brushless motor, ESC 2 batteries, JR 610UL Rx and a good charger I had spent $600 on the little plane. They fly good, but are not cheap if you don’t have all the other stuff first. FWIW, I really like the HiMax outrunner, direct drive, motor on the plane. It’s 1 of the least expensive motors out there and is very powerful and quiet. The Ultimate has some issues, like significant coupling when using rudder.

Look closely at www.3dfoamy.com they have some fantastic planes and have a great reputation here at RCU for both flight characteristics and customer service. These planes are about the same cost as the Eflite planes, a bit larger yet similar weight and are made in the USA.
