Welcome to Hobby Squawk, Jacob 7084! There is a wide range of possibilities and I'm sure the group will give you good advice. But first, to give you better advice, would you tell us more about yourself? Age, flying experience, RC experience (car, drone, plane, etc), geographic location, do you have an area to fly or are you joining a club, what kinds of planes do you like now and want to fly later, and what's your appropriate budget range?Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream
Live chat with me and other RC Nuts on my Discord

Like others have said the best starter airplanes are the E-flite Apprentice S RTF or the Apprentice S15e RTF (Ready To Fly). However you will have to try to find one used to fit into your budget. You can try finding one on ebay or your local hobby shop.
Another cheaper alternative which is what I used to start out is the Dynam Hawk Sky V2. The only bad thing about it is that it is hard to steer on the ground at low speeds because it has no tail wheel steering. But if you hand launch it and belly land it is no problem.

Jacob7084, Welcome to "The Squawk"! I agree with each previous comment. It is about learning to fly and acquiring the skills to build. Fortune Cookie Say: "Start simple and success will follow quickly." Best, LB :)I solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~
