With my Christmas money, I plan on buying a new airplane. I plan on buying the ARF version and then adding the electronics i want in later. I already have a crappy swift flyer two channel rc airplane and it sucks. I can fly it and i have flown a 3-channel before once with my uncle. I pan on flying at a huge soccor feild about a mile from my house so the plane cant be too big. There is also a parking lot to land and take of if the plane has wheels.
I have put links below to the planes I am interested in and would like your imput. Also, if none of the planes would be a good choice for me, please recommend one. Remember, I am only 15 so Im not made of money. Please look at the planes below or recommend one. Also, it would be helpfull if you told me why you picked what you did. Thanks a lot!!

I seem to like the jets the most. Are they hard to fly?
With those prices, and having to buy the radio separately, you may like to consider a HobbyZone Super Cub, which comes with everything and is priced at roughly $170.00. It will be easier to fly, and it can be upgraded with better components at a later date, yet is ready right out of the box at a modest price. One of the flatties you're looking at will cost you $270.00 to set up, where this comes in at $100.00 less. The HobbyZone offering also seems to be of better quality, with a built-up fuselage rather than it being a profile foamie (which is what you would be getting for $100.00 more in the Hobby-Lobby product). Here's a link to the Super Cub:
