The airplane I'm gonna recommend to you is similiar to one that I already have. It's called an Aerobird RTF. It's like most other foam electric airplanes except that it has one important difference. I uses a single stick transmitter. This is important if you're using this airplane as stepping stone toward more advanced aircraft. They say it sells for 179.99 and that's nearly everything you'll need to get it up and flying. They also have a website it's www.horizonhobby.com Good luck!
