In the genre that spiral 72 said, there are a group of planes from several manufactures that somewhat bridge the gap from the big box store products (airhogs et al found at WalMart, Target, KMart, etc) and a good hobby quality trainer as discussed on the link above. I've seen them from $60 to $150, includes radio and plane in one box so they are 'RTF' Ready To Fly, and while twitchy and challenging in a moderate breeze, they are flyable.

If all you are looking for is something to 'mess around with' that can fly in less than calm conditions, the RTF planes are probably what you are looking for. However, if you want to really have a nice plane that will last you more than the summer, then the initial recommendation to invest $300-$400 in a nice starter trainer and radio that can take you further and have years of enjoyment is a much better investment.
