In addition to the LT-40, You may want to look at the SIG Kadet/Signorita and if you are interested in a taildragger, the Telemaster http://www.hobby-lobby.com/tel40gas.htm

I have seen the Telemaster fly and actually watched the person line the plane up with the runway, put the engine to idle, then put the transmitter down on the ground as he said "Watch this. Automatic landing".

I expcected the plane to crash as he was about 300' out and up about 45 - 50'. The plane ACTUALLY LANDED IT SELF WITH NO ONE AT THE CONTROLS. If I hadn't seen it I would not have believed it.

(I know, I know, not safe flying. We were the only 2 people at the field and the closest building/house is 1/2 mile away, so I didn't say anything. )
