That's not a excuse, if you dont have time to build, how do you have time to enjoy the hobby.? If he is going to buy speed, a $200-$300 rtr is not going to buy much. 30mph out of the box doesn't excite you for too long and paying someone to build a FE is gonna cost a whole lot more than doing it yourself.
I do enjoy building, however, I'd rather be flying or piloting. With a full time job, 3 year old son to take care of, and a house to maintain, my "me time" is limited. It took me 4 weeks to mod my NQD. 8 weeks to build my 550 size helicopter. The RTR option for me is the way to go. (Even though most of the time it means READY TO REPAIR or READY TO FAIL)
I like the idea of the Revolt30 with different prop, and sharpened hardware etc.
Thanks to everyone for your help. I'm still open to other ideas, keep em coming!
