Hi Wemic, You may be interested in something like the Hobbico NexSTAR (Tower Hobbies) they have a package that includes just about everything you need including radio, engine, flight stabilization and even a computer simulator. It seems to be only partly covered in monocote(the red) so you may want to research what kind of covering the main color is. We have an old Hobbico flightstar and it has some kind of sticky film on it that is a pain to patch(covering melts if iron too hot). Good luck and have fun, don't get into a hurry, enjoy each step it will help to insure you and your son success.Calvi
