Hi,
I have someone who is 13 and interested in the wonderful world of RC. He is not sure about which direction to go in: airplane, heli, build, glow or electric. I have built a trainer, building my second plane, have a foamie and a small indoor heli. He wants some advice from me and I am not sure on what to even suggest.
As we all know, there are many options in this hobby, so how do you recommend to a 13 year old on where to start? He has shown some interest in building, but I am worried that it will end up taking too long. On the other side of the coin, winter in Central New York does not leave much for flying.
Any input will be more than welcomed. I have already sent him to
www.gettingairborne.com, but I am sure even that will be a little overwhelming to begin with.
Thanks in advance,
Brad
I'll be glad to let the 13 year old and you fly my LT-40 and Raptor 30, but Syracuse is a 2-1/2 hour drive from me, so it's probably out of the question to come to my area.
I've been letting people fly my aircraft for free for many years now, even if they tell me they can't afford the hobby/sport or if they claim to have no real desire to get into RC aero modeling. Just like auto dealers insisting that customers take a test drive in a new car.
