My nephews showed some interest in my RC stuff,but I think CL is a better way to start. Easier to learn, cheap enough for a 14 year old and not as much money wasted if they don't stay with it. I was going to start with a Norvell .049 and a Sig StringRay. I've now decided to go electric since that's what I fly RC.

I got a Yak foamy from Hobby-Lobby for $20 along with an Esskay 400XT brushless outrunner for another $20. I already have speed controls and batteries etc. but ordered a ZTRON timer. The timer lets me set how long I want the motor to run.

The Yak looks pretty good, should be an easy build. Converting to CL means not cutting out ailerons and setting the rudder.
