RTF airplanes are pre-assembled RC airplanes built to eliminate assembly time. This option is typically used for younger children or those uninterested in the construction of the planes themselves.
Yes, RC RTF airplanes are still produced. You can purchase them and parts for them on many reputable online sites such as Amazon or Ebay. Buying on Ebay may find you an item cheaper if it is used.
