Hello Everyone!

I am new here, but I am not new to the performance world. I am looking for an RC plane, (probably two) for my sons and I to have some fun with. I have twin 7 year old boys who need to spend more time with their father.

I would like to spend $100-$400 each for the planes complete. I have never run an RC airplane, or anything else for that matter, but my sons love airplanes so much I thought I would give this a try. I have no idea what I am doing.

I don't mind building anything and would love to build something WITH them. I could build really anything, but I am not sure what a good choice for 7 year olds would be. (You can see my company at www.kirkhammotorsports.com so you can see what kind of capabilities we have.)

As my sons aren't anywhere near driving age, (not that I would let them drive what I make anyway) I thought I would turn to RC as that has always held my imagination for some reason.

I think I would like electric as I think it may be easier to deal with--but I really don't know. That is why I am looking for some help here.

I don't have ANY experience with RC

I can build just about anything. (I am a CNC programmer and I have 5 CNC machines)

I imagine I will crash more times than I care to think about.

I think electric may be easier to deal with???

I have no idea what all I have to buy and every time I turn around it seems I need something else...radio, receivers, servos....on, and on. Not that I am frustrated, I just don't understand all of the vocabulary and I want to make sure I get everything I need.

What about used/previously owned???

Please help on how I can go about this.

Many, many thanks for any help. It will be greatly appreciated.

David
