Yep lets not give them a airplane kit to build that gives them pleny of more time to play war games on their X- Box . Just saying ! I think a foam arf to get them started but get them a kit or even build cheap planes out of dollar tree foam with them. A German free cartoon plane plan called the Slowly and it can fly at a slow walk . Me and my grandkids built a couple of these and they have a blast flying them .It takes 2 dollars worfh of foam gorrila glue and cheap servos and motors . joe
