The Borg has a Buck brand plane that looks similar to a #5 Stanley. Or
if you would prefer something smaller, a #220 Stanley block plane was
my first plane when I was 11 or 12. They're cheap, but they have
precise adjustment of the cutting iron depth. Should be in the $20 to
$25 range. The block planes can be used with one hand if you don't try
to cut too deep.

Otherwise, a USED cessna 4 seat can be had for about the same $ as a
new P-up truck.

Tom in KY, *-bay is a good place to look around and see what has been
available all of this time that you have been planeless.
