wich electric rc plane is the cheapest and has 4 channels? and is power enough to hover in the air? I bought two pre-assembled planes a while ago, but the engine in them isn't more powerful than it barely lifts them off the ground. If I want a plane that can hover, wich planes would you guys recommend?

The two words you use "cheap" and "hover" don't work together. Here in the USA to get the hover will cost about $300 if you have the radio already. Dennis

You can get the Lightflite "Bug" on xmas special for $130.00 plus a battery(Lipo) and your receiver and this little wonder will do anything you can imagine - indoors or out. It " Floats"

hmm. is it so expensive? i just bought a Katana ep balsa-plane. it costs 1600NOK wich is just under 200$. it hovers quite well in the video on the site I bought it from. haven't tested it yet because weather conditions and stuff. it looks so fragile:/ - one hard landing and it will fall apart? http://rcnet.no/rc/video/katanaep.wmv . . . I've heard about the yak flight flex. this plane looks like it would survive almost everything:P. anyone tried this one?

The twist is usually about 79$ US, and the Tribute .36 is even less I think, either will hover nicely on th TT.46 with a 12- 4 prop, the twist a little better behaved I think.
