1) I'm assuming the place to start is with the TX/RX combo. What are the go-to recommendations out there, specifically for beginners, with a suggestion for higher-spec items if it's financially worth-while? Is there one brand that's cornered the market, one TX/RX system or protocol that's worth focussing on?

2) Are there recommended plane kits (either with or without electronics) that work well indoors, are easily repairable and suitable for beginners?

Stronger and more a build the slowstick, pico or microstick (remember brushless and the propeller can be not as forgiving as the first two I mentioned for kids these are not toys. and they can injure a kid if handled wrong.


3) Battery/charger recommendations?


4) Suppliers? Is there a particular supplier that deals with Micro-RC and is worth purchasing from? I'm a big fan of buying local (I'm in Vancouver, BC, Canada) but know that's not always a viable option. I don't mind waiting on the mail.


5) Websites/YouTube channels to follow? Does anyone have any recommendations of builders/flyers to follow?


6) Been there - done that! Any fellow educators out there who have already pursued this idea and have any tips/tricks/recommendations for me?
