RE: Need suggestions for a 12 year old
Here's an easy beat down of the Hobbyzone Supercub...

It's virtually indestructable... has a full 4 channels, and can 3D too when maxed out on the rates.
It will hold interest for quite a while and could indeed be flown in a large yard.
The Supercub however DOES get blown around in 2-4 MPH winds... I've seen people loose them because of this at our airfield!
