That was absolutely incredible! I didn't even realize some of those moves were possible. And only 17..wow.
I would love to get my son involved in something like that, he wants to be a pilot so badly. Do you have any recommendations for a starter plane that wouldn't be too expensive and is as durable as possible?

yes i would sugest a spad (simple plastic airplane design)
those are pretty easy to build and they are really forgiving almost crash proof
here is the website adress for the spad
http://www.spadtothebone.com/
http://www.spadtothebone.com/freeplans.htm
in the free plan section i strongly suggest to start with a trainer
also joining the forum at www.spadworld.net would also be a good idea
thst is for the plane part to learn how to fly it i strongly recomand you find an instructor at a flying club near your home the American modeliste association website should have a list of all those near where you live
there is also the hobby shop near you that could provide you with lots of info
get me on vent if you ned more info

Thanks for sharing your hobby and that link Jeth.
That is amazing to watch. We have a few RC launch parks around here, but I've NEVER seen something quite like that, pretty cool stuff.
I'd like to see a few of your own planes if you have any pictures?

Thanks, Jeth! I'm really excited to know that I can let him enjoy this sport without breaking the bank.
