RE: Starter plane for 9-year-old?
I went to Toys R Us and purchased the Air Hog Aero Ace for my son; now I can't wait until Christmas so we can try it out! It's a cool red color with skulls on the wings and it was $29.99.
Thanks again to everyone for the terrific advice and for directing me to the other forum on Aero Aces. Hope you have a great holiday season and that Santa leaves you lots of good RC components.
