A good electric plane in my opinion is the Sig Rascal. You can convert it to glow if you want and the radio can be used with many planes unlike the Firebird series. The miss is that it is not an all in one deal. Check it out at http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXVY37&P=7 A quick estimate would bring the total to get the plane flying around $300.
