Go for a FancyFoam.com YAK-54. I've had a few of their planes, and this one is the best. The Ultimate Bipe, flys most like a 1/4 scale plane, but in general the foamies fly very differently than standard glow. FF has complet set-ups that make it easy to get into electrics. You need to pick a size and weight range of the type of planes that you want to fly. That way you can easily transfer the electronics from one plane to another without having to invest in different set-up for each plane. Also, RCXPlanes.com make really nice electrics. Their Extra flies really smooth for a foamie and handles wind better than most. Their graphics packages make finishing the planes much easier than most.

The FlatOuts are OK, but not very sturdy. With the set-up that you're looking at you'll be primarily flying planes in the 8-12 oz range. I prefer planes in the 12-16oz range, but that's just my preference. Everyone's got their own opinion, similar to the glow people. Some like .46 size, some like 1/4 scale, you get the picture.

I think that electrics are the best thing to happen to R/C since the computer radios came out. I started flying electrics last year, and have yet to fly my glow planes since...
