Default Whats the best?

What is the best electric RTF for under $250? I would prefer a jet, but a prop plane will do fine.

The Parkzone T-28 isn't a jet but it is $249 and includes everything you need. It is also an unbelievably nice flying airplane.

I haven't seen one of those personally. The Nitroplanes stuff is hit and miss. Some stuff is surprisingly high in quality and performance and some leaves a lot to be desired.

Austin Rice,

That's a big difference between those two A-10's, one little with brushed motor and ni-mh's batts,
and the other is bigger with brushless and lipo's, big difference in price too.

My question to you is (forgive if you already answered it) what is your piloting skill level?
if you are fairly new to the hobby than the EDF jet is going out of your abilities. You will wind
up with a very expensive ball of foam.[&o]
