Can you please recommend a good quality R/C aeroplane for my son of 8 years. He is mature and has good eye and hand coordination.

RC plane for 8yrs
by: Pete

There's a thread in the forum which may be of interest, at http://forum.rc-airplane-world.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=241 - forum member Aviation4kids has recently bought the HobbyZone Super Cub for his 8 year old son. I think this would be a good choice for your son also.
If it's beyond budget, then look for a cheaper high-wing electric plane, 3 channels is probably better than 4 at that age. HobbyZone make some great beginner planes, and quality/value is excellent. The Firebird range or Slo-V are other examples.
