Default Good plane for youngens

Hi all,

I used to be involved with RC airplanes 12+ yrs ago. I got into pointing dogs and hunting upland game heavily and am looking at reentering the hobby. I am mainly doing it because my son hates to hunt and this would give us something in common to do. Also I wouldn't mind getting into it again. Alot has changed since I've left the hobby. Where are all the kits now days!! Everything is ARF, kind of disappointing.

Anyway what would be a good cheap plane/radio combo to get that is very forgiving? My son will be 8 soon and he handles the G3 sim very well. He is very excited about RC airplanes. I am thinking of getting a small foam wing electric to start out with to see if he takes to it. I have all the gear for gas flight and building but no planes or radios anymore. Hopefully he will like it and we can start building a kit for gas flight. Any suggestions?
