Airborne Models, USA distributor for World Models, has several .25 size airpalnes. the one here is an $80.00 ARF, which comes in four color schemes. This is the company, which makes the famous Skyraider Mach II. I buy mine from my Local Hobby Shop.

I have the Zero version of this plane. I've flown it with an OS .25 FSR, Saito FA-45, and an OS .32 FSR. Performance was good with all 3 engines. Obviously the .32 hauls it around better than the .25, but the .25 was still more than enough. It's got a good size wing and the low speed characteristics are quite predictable. About the only limitation is that it comes with a skid on the back rather than a steerable tail wheel. This makes the tracking a little challenging, especially in a cross wind.
