Default Slow, Easy, Indestructable

OK, I just got my HZ Super Cub shipped to me and it looks pretty nice. The only problem is I think it is way too big to fly near my house. It is the first plane in the family and I wanted to share flying it with my son, but he is only 4 yrs old and I'm not sure he would be able to fly it much. If we go to a big open field he might be able to take over a little (once I learn how to fly it!), but this thing appears to need a large space and I don't think he could fathom the distances right now.

I am looking for a plane for him and maybe for me to train on. I had heard good things about the mini xpv, but I watched a video or two on them and they seem a little jittery. Maybe this is just how they appear. They are very tempting for $30 or so.

What would be the very easiest plane of all to fly? I would prefer soemthing relatively slow and indestructable as possible. Low price would be great, too. Doesn't need to be true hobby grade as long as it flies ok. I know this is a tall order because a light and easy plane is likely fragile, but I'll take any advice I can get.
