Hi,

I teach an Aerospace Engineering course to advanced High School Juniors and Seniors. The course is aligned with and modeled after a college level Introduction to Aerospace class (similar to the one I took at the University of Michigan, including using Anderson's Introduction to Flight as our text). The students have a good academic understanding of Aerodynamics and Stability & Control, but I am looking for some actual R/C Planes for them to fly, so they can put their theory into practice. I would like to get several models including Propeller and Jets. I myself do not have experience with R/C Planes either.

Any and all suggestions for Models, Brand & Equipment would be greatly appreciated. I teach in a Public School, but recently have received an offer of a donation of $1,000 - $2,000 to spend for equipment and supplies , but I have to spend it fairly soon.

Thank you for any ideas!
