Ready to fly 4 channel aircraft recommendations

[A Silver]

I am looking to buy a ready to fly 4 channel fixed wing aircraft. I love the Apprentice S 15E but it is way too big (and the mini version is still too big). I am also looking at the HobbyZone Champ S+ RTF but I prefer the style of the Apprentice. I am looking for anything £200 or less so any suggestions are welcome.

 

I know this isn't really a model aviation forum but I trust this forum so I felt like asking here.

I learned on the Horizon Hobby Sport Cub S. The sport cub S is smaller than the Apprentice Mini. I initially considered the champ as well, but I'm glad i went with the Sport Cub. It's a much better aircraft.

There are two drawbacks that I'm aware of: It is extremely light, but there's a silver lining to that because it glides extremely well if you let the battery get drained too low during flight and the ESC cuts the motor. The landing gear is very small, it will not take off or taxi in anything but the shortest grass, and sometimes when landing in grass the aircraft will ground loop. So make sure to cut the throttle right before touch down.

 Is the Sport Cub S 4 channel?

Yes. All models with Horizon Hobby Safe or Safe+ technology are 4 channel, including helis.
