Default RE: Good kit for newcomer


ORIGINAL: adamsdp

Hi,

I have been interested in getting a rc sailboat for some time. I have been into rc airplanes and my son who is 15 now is interested in builing an rc sailboat. I would like to find a nice kit that would look good in his room. I looked at the Dumas website but there boats look pretty plain. Is there anything that would have some nice detail, not be too hard to build and preferrably be made from wood? I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!

p.s. My other idea is to get a wooden boat for his room that is for show and a plastic boat for sailing.
This one looks very good in display, IMO, and also sails well from reports:

No wood though...
