Suggestions for a 13 year old

[4u2nv]

My little cousins birthday is coming up and Id really like to get him a plane. Everytime I fly (Well attempt) hes really interested so I figured this would be a good chance to get him into the hobby. Trouble is, I'm not real up to date on electrics since all of my are nitro. I figured electric would be the way to go for him. I want to get him a decent one, but not looking to spend alot of dough. Anyone have any suggestions on a good starter plane for him?? (He's turning 13. He has a mini-t and has drove my savage a few times fairly well, so he has some time behind the rc wheel)

Inexpensive and easy to fly.

Something like one of the HobbyZone Firebirds might be good for him. They're a simple design. Inexpensive. A bit limited when compared to a full-house plane, but they would certainly get him in the air.
If you're looking for something a little more plane-like, consider something like the Multiplex Easy Star or maybe a GWS Slow Stick. They are both easy enough for a beginner to fly.

Don't know what you looking to spend but here's something that may interest you......from the video, he's flying in some wind, looks to be a good plane. A high wing as well, always a good idea for first time flyers....thought about one of these myself for lazy days....lol
