That's an easy one. LS4 or DG300 will be your best bet for 30K.

Never seen an LS-4 for sale; and I *love* our two local DG-300's - but
the ones I've seen online seem to go for closer to $40k or $50k!
Thought they were out of my budget (unless people are asking for WAY
more than they're actually selling the aircraft for)...


The expensive ones you've seen are likely newer DG-303s. DG-300s sell
in the low to mid-30s these days. The DG-101 (aka DG-100G) is another
good choice, nice ones with Komet trailers sell in the mid-20s. They do
have manual hookups for spoilers and ailerons, but they're relatively
easy to see and manipulate.
