Default RE: Good First Planes

Hello everyone,

As a new flyer (who doesn't even have a plane yet) I have a few questions. I am in the process of trying to pick a plane that is all inclusive (plane , trans, servos,etc) But als one that won't even come close to breaking the bank. The only thing I have flow has been the aero ace (fun, slow, and best of all cheap) belonging to a coworker's son and right off went looking for one. As luck would ave it - none to be found. I know that I could order it on line but I am thinking I would rather pay a bit more and get someting better. I would like some advice on the possiblity of a RTF in the $100 or less range. The reason is that just because I enjoyed buzzing the parking lot at the office I don't know if I will get"the bug". The plane I am looking for would have the following characteristics:

1- slow flyer / easy to learn on
2 not too large
3- all inclusive
4- hard to break/easy to repair
5- $100 or less

I know that the cost limits me here but I want to be careful to not irritate my wife so that if I am reasdy to move on to a bigger toy there won't be any fuss (this method works! at least with my wife)
