Default Advice please

I finally moved into an area with a nice large yard and have been looking forward to flying parkflyers again for some time (2 new kids). Well, in the past, I have enjoyed flying an Aerobird and slow stick as well as mountain models aileron trainer the Dandy sport. I became comfortable with all of these but ultimately destroyed them and rebuilt them 1 too many times. Well, 2 years have passed and I purchased a Busy Bee ARF from Hobby-lobby. Needless to say, I did not have a good experience with this plane like I anticipated I would. I do, however, have what appear to be a good set of electronics including a brushless motor and ESC as well as some micro servos and 5 lipo batteries of the 2 and 3 cell varieties. I would like to find a simple foam plane for $50 bucks or less that I could toss this stuff in and tool around my house.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Look at the mini mag by multiplex it is a great plane for training and can do a couple of tricks! Very stable and can handle 13mph winds with a brushless lipo set up.

I am not sure what the esc is i think it is 30 amp it came out of one of those hydroplanes. The motor is called "emax" it cost like 13$. I think Uh has them, they are great for foamy's!

Stony.. we are trying to get you to tell us what motor it is and what ESC it is.. like who made it, what size it is, what the ESC is, what size (current capabilities) it is, so we can try to give you an intelligent answer. All else is just beating around the bush giving suggestions based on no information. Now if you don't know, that's fine. But you must have some idea, you have LiPo's and they are size related.
