If you want minimal building and maximum flying, go for the NexSTAR Select RTF. It comes with the radio, engine all installed, all you really need to do is put the tail together, join the wings, install landing gear, and charge batteries. It also comes with the simulator software for that plane as well as the AFS (Automatic Flight Stabilizer) although I never used it.

As with all, you really should work closely with an instructor and have that expert take a close look at everything including the center of gravity and fly it with a buddy box system.

The cost of the aircraft with the radio, engine, software, and so on, retail is $399 but you can get deals at quite a few places to get it cheaper.

Many wil scoff at the above and yet many more will say, yep, this is a good airplane. All of our most recent solo's, in the past two years, all but one, have all solo'ed with this plane. Very nice aircraft.
