The thrill of being a pilot of your own plane can overwhelm some younger flyers. Start out with a simple electric Remote Control Airplane with just 2 or 3 channels and fixed landing gear to make sure it is not too complicated. Once you have picked out a simple beginner airplane, have your child help you with assembly. Most beginner planes will only require a few screws or some glue to assemble the wings, tail and landing gear. The biggest thing is the time it takes to charge the battery. A quick charger and spare batteries will enhance the time in the air.
Having a park or field to fly in is the next step. Having one without trees and power poles to interfere with the beginning pilot will be good as there will be lots of crashes. Do not worry as most damage can be fixed with scotch tape or glue made for Styrofoam. Make sure you get the correct glue as regular glue will melt the foam and make the plane useless. Having a spare prop will also be useful.
