If he is wanting electric, the GWS Slow Stick is a great starter plane that does not break the bank.

It's ARF so it needs all electronics.
Check on You Tube for Slow Stick and you will see why the call it that when it's flying.

What servos and radio would you recommend? (cheap

This version comes with a motor and prop.

You would then only need an ESC, (2) micro servos and radio equipment.
More info on their site.

Take a look at this site: http://secure.hobbyzone.com/index/index_park_flyers_rtf/ . These planes have everything needed to get them in the air and parts are easy to get if dad breaks something. I've owned a few of these and although I don't consider myself a flyer even I can keep one in the air. They will take a beating for the first-timer. Most hobby shops carry these planes so you could wait until the day before if you needed to to get one.

Are the mirco's able to fly outdoors easily or are they kind of pointless?

Usually in micro's, they should tell you on the box if they can be flown outdoors as some can't be in winds over a certain MPH.
