Apologies in advance, as this is not quite RC specific, but it seemed the best place.
My daughter is asking for an airplane kit for her 9th birthday that she can build. She wants something that she can glue together. I think rubber power would be most appropriate for the first one. I'd love her to get into radio control airplanes one day, but that's not the stage we are at.
She has done the rubber band dollar store ones that are essentially slotting the wings and tail into the body. Something more advanced is required.
I have found the kits where the wings and body are basically stick built, then covered tissue paper, and doped. This seems a bit too complicated for her age. The box says ages 12 and up.
My local hobby store wasn't overally helpful. I looked at a number of online stores (e.g. Tower Hobbies, Great Hobbies) and while they have a lot of kits listed, no indication of age appropriateness is given.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Allan.
