there are easier things to fly- i learned on a trainer- but this will survive crahses quite well so i'm planning on teaching my son to fly with it.

My James bought an RC Helicopter once and we both thought (foolishly) it would be easy to fly. However they are extremely tricky things to balance and if you smash the blades and bend the main prop-shaft it's expensive to repair and re-trim back up.

fly things made of foam, and glue them together when they break.
best thing is to make it yourself from foam. reinforce everything, build it to survive crashes.
all the "proper" people on rcgroups are always saying build as light as possible to make it fly best- I reckon they are too cautious. Clearly if you're not smashing it in to the ground every other time you try and fly it you're not pushing the boundaries.
Once something's flying comfortably it immediately becomes boring. Time to stick on a bigger motor and make it go faster, find out what happens.

Simple Plastic Aircraft Design. R/C stuff made from gutter pipe an plastic sheet. All designed to be cheap to make, fun to fly and easy to repair!
