i have the accipter baddius that i ordered on ebay for 60.00. The shipping took 5 days to florida, very fast. The kit comes with everything u need to fly and a spare prop for those crashes. Everything on the glider even the motor is replaceable for under 15.00. The plane takes like 5 minutes to put together outta the box, charge the battery and fly. My fly times are about 15-20 mins per battery charge. I did some mods to mine to make it fly better. Outta the box the plane is not balanced. I added 4 quarters to the nose for a little weight and reinforced the wing with some clear duct tape because the wing would tend to bend a little on sharp turns and dives. The best thing to do is order the polyhedral wing for the baddius for 7.00 and then u will really increase the glide times. its a really nice 3 channel plane for 60.00 and really cheap and easy to repair. The first day i got mine i crashed it nose first into the pavement and made a decent sized dent in the road. I took it home and 30 mins later was up flying again. It was really easy to fix and i was surprized that nothing was broken but the switch which was really simple to replace. So look into it...the BAddius Rocks!! :)

If you are looking for a RTF package that is all built, the Great Planes Spectra Select is about $200 from www.towerhobbies.com

I hear good things about the FlyZone Ventrua as well, RTF package.
