Default Totally new to Airplanes

Hello!

I have been into r/c cars for quite a while now and for some reason got the urge the other day to try airplanes...
I currently have a Hobby Zone Fighterbird that i have not yet been able to fly with out crashing (I've only flown it once, but broke parts while crashing) ... but i will be taking in out for a fly on friday.

When I do master this flying skill someday, i was wondering what the first step in getting into a higher level of airplanes.

I was wondering what plane you would recommend for someone who is a beginner but knows the basics of flying.

This is what I'd be looking for
1.) A mostly RTF plane, that includes servos, radio, transmitter, etc... And requires little building.
2.) I would like to not spend more than $200... but am looking for a plane within $100-$150.
3.) Electric! I would like to stay with electric planes for quite a while, as I am very tired of tuning with nitros.

Thanks for the help!
