Get Dad Flying

PaPa

This doesn't have any direct bearing on the cost of flying, at least to your wallet, and it's not in any way intended to get you to try to pry more money from Dad for moneys sake.

A short story...

For reference, I'm 45 years old.

When I was 10-15 years old, I flew a little bit of control line with my older brother. It didn't cost more than we could make mowing lawns. We saw the rc stuff in the ads, but no way could I even dream of having expensive radios like that.

Fast forward nearly 30 years.

For my sons' 12th birthday, I got him in the rc business with a trainer and the basic stuff everyone on here has been telling you about. 500.00 +/-.

I had flown full scale planes for several years, so it wasn't long before he haad me hooked. Now we have several planes and the list never ends.

However, the money spent on the planes is small compared to the enjoyment we have doing this hobby together. If you both like the hobby, and can find some experienced local help, the rest will fall together, in time.

Again good luck.
