Yo Matt!  Welcome to RCSB.

I suggest you start with a kit of a trainer type airplane, don't go all nuts trying to do a glass finish and a lot of detail and stick with fixed gear for now.  If you are not currently flying, the Apprentice series of ARFs from E-Flite are good trainers.

I would also suggest looking at the site supporter program here (LINK) in order to maximize the value of the site to you and your son.

Jeff

Hi Matt, welcome to the fun!

Jeff gave good advice above! Start simple & don't bite off too much the first tries. Lots of great info here on the forums and folks who can help with any question!
