Agreed pretty much all jet fighters glide like bricks. However you can convert a glider to R/C

My second piece of advice is to get a bigger budget.
If you want to fly R/C. getting started is going to go far beyond ten dollars. However once in, you can use inexpensive items and materials to make models that fly quite well.
