Thanks, all.
My only problem w/the Super Cub is that it comes with an AM radio and a brushed motor (I guess that's TWO problems
). So, yeah, it's a nice price, but brushless and 2.4ghz are both pretty big features for me.
But I found another plane @ Horizon; the E-Flite Apprentice 15e
I say super cub because you can drive it straight into the ground and have it back up and flying in 5 min. Try that with your apprentice :-)

I just went and looked more into the apprentice 15, looks OK to me. BUT I still think you should start with a 3 ch plane that you can crash over and over before moving up to a 4 ch plane. The Dx5 is very limited, and if you stay in the hobby, you will upgrade very quickly. The DX5 would make a great buddy box the teach your son after you up grade to a DX7 or DX8.
