The only one that I can think of that fits your needs in a 40 size is the Great Planes Ultimate. It runs $109.99 at Tower Hobbies. You can find the plane here [link]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJ581&P=0[/link]

Hope this helps

My LHS has the SIG Smith Miniplane for $92, and the SIG Ultimate (profile) for $77. The Ultimate's available at Tower for the same price.

Or you can be different and build one of these little gems

Only costs $79.99. I would suggest that you put a little larger tank than they suggect to get flights of more than 6 minutes with a .46 size engine though. A fun build, challenging, but fun, and you'll be really pleased with the look when you're done. Flies nice too. Good luck with your decision!
