About a year ago, I was in our small town library and saw they still had some books but the newest was published in the 80's. Our local hobby shops carry magazines where sometimes they have construction articles but most of it has to do with ARF's (Almost Ready to Fix). Tried to get my youngest son into it. He learned to take off and make basic turns and loops but the interest just wasn't there. He would have had to go more often to get good enough to land. Tried getting him to build a small Guillows rubber job but again no interest. Instead, he likes RC trucks and has a nitro one from Associated. He's learned to start and adjust it and some basic mechanical maintenance. At least he found his nich. Other than RC trucks, he plays video games and such like others his age.
