There is an awesome RC airplane/glider that is RTF, styrofoam and cheap. Like around $80. I need to go get another one, there was so much glue and wooden splints in my first one it wouldn't fly hardly at all anymore. I had some severe learning problems, the elevator controls were backwards from the gas RC plane I had as a youth.

I was really starting to get good with it and although I had a known issue with the electronics causing a short and sudden altitude change, I was doing touch and goes from my driveway, over the fence, and in my backyard. Naturally while over the fence, it dropped suddenly and just barely caught the fence before I could react. The dance of the death chicken ensued as it flailed helplessly on the ground.
