I'm 14 now and started flying last year with a Hobbyzone Super Cub. This plane is great, it is super easy to fly can perform loops, inverted flight and most of the 3CH tricks. Plus it is tough! My only crash was when I disregarded the low transmitter battery alert("nah I've got loads of time" ) and lost control during a loop. BAM! straight into the ground from way up high with full throttle. The only repair I had to do was a bit of glue and tape on the plastic cowl which cracked. Anyway this is a good looking and easy flying plane for under your price limit.
