eHobbies.com currently has the Thunder Tiger Tiger Trainer .40 MKII Super Combo for $229.99 plus S&H. The plane comes with the Thunder Tiger GP-42 engine pre-installed, as well as an Airtronics VG400 radio system pre-installed. The airframe is glueless, featuring almost total pre-fabrication. All you have to do before flying is to charge the transmitter and receiver batteries with the included charger, bolt the wing halves together, and bolt on the tail assembly. No cutting, no gluing.

The Pegasus .40 Super Combo they offer for $219.99 is also an excellent airframe, but I'm not sure which radio system they include with it. eHobbies calls it a Hitec Focus 4 radio, but Hitec's website doesn't show they've ever made a radio by this name. I'd recommend the Tiger Trainer Mk II .40 super combo specifically because the included radio system is a known high quality system.
