Hi,
15 size ARF's are not plentiful as they were years ago. Most smaller planes now are built of foam and are plug-n-play(motor and esc already installed)
You would need to look for a plane that has around a 45-50" wingspan and weighs around 3.5 to 4 pounds. You will also need a 40-45 amp ESC and a 3-cell LiPo battery as well as servos, prop, receiver etc...
Here are some examples:

A Sig Seniorita would fly with that 15 as it's designed to fly with a 15 to 25 sized glow engine. It is a "stick build" type kit so it's not something you could assemble over a weekend. It also comes with everything but covering, radio and engine.
