I have just about everything E-Flite.

My Ultimate EP flies like a champ! My Tensor flies good, but I'm an outdoor flyer and it doesn't get flown much. My Ultimate is durable and it isn't too expensive. It isn't big, either. The Ultimate is super sturdy and awesome for beginners and advanced alike. This is the one I recommend. Then again, the Tribute flies good, too.
Ultimate EP Setup:
Himax 2015
Cobri Gearbox
Phoenix 25
Futaba Mini Servos
Castle Creations Berg reciever
Thunder Power 1320 mAh 3-Cell LiPo

P.S. I'll tell you some modifications I made to improve the plane's performance and construction if you choose to get one.
