Hi Five, I got a VMAR T-34 mentor with a Magnum 61 4-stroke. This plane is by far the best constructed ARF I've had. Very solid construction and very stable in the air. Only 2 things I would change,; 1 The covering is a bit cheap[shelf paper] but from a distance it looks good. 2, The main landing gear struts are too close together and the plane tips over pretty easily if taxiing too quickly. Other wise , your nephew should have no trouble with this as hie second plane. JEFF
