I don't know why people are saying a flying wing is so hard to fly. My son has a non-powered combat wing and I have a zagi 400 with a standard 400 motor in it. The CombatWing is very light, practically indestructable and is easy to fly. We use a wing launcher bungee arrangement for it and when he was learning to fly, we only pulled it back a little for a short flight. As for stalls, they are very gentle and if it hits the ground after a stall in an attitude that would destroy other planes, there is no damage.

The Zagi on the other hand, would be a bit tougher to fly because of the power, but is still a good choice. My son likes the Zagi over his Alpha 9 because he doesn't worry so much when he makes a mistake!

If it were my dime, I'd get a built up Combat Wing (you can check their web site) and go out and have a blast!!! Once your son gets the hang of it and really likes it, the sky literally is the limit!!

By the way, I have been flying for over 25 years, powered, gliders and scale.

Good Luck!!!
