So, I'm not new, but my son is. He's 6 and SUPER interested in learning to fly. I have him on the simulator ATM and he's doing good so far. But I'd really like to get him something real to learn on.
I've been watching the older FT videos (again) and came across this video.
In this video the younger kids is flying a plane he got from West Michigan Park Flyers or http://www.wmparkflyers.com/
Looking on the website it looks to be what's called a Magnum Reloaded or a Mini Magnum Reloaded. It's a simple 3 channel EPP trainer. You can buy the upgraded wing and turn it into what's called Acro Magnum Reloaded.
Well, looking on the site, they seem to be all out of stock. I emailed them about it with no response. A quick Google search shows no one else in the states that carries it. I did find a company in Europe that does but it'll be well North of $100 shipping one here to KY (shipping+plane).
This type of plane is EXACTLY what I was looking for to get my son in the air. Small so it won't hurt if he hits me/him, slow, easy to fly and easy to repair if it'll ever even need it. I know he's young so I'm expecting LOTS of crashing.
Does anyone know of a place I can pick one of these up? OR, do you guys know of a EPP plane similar to it? I'd really like to stay away from banggood as most of their stuff is junk. I need a small, slow, 3 channel preferably EPP trainer.
I just don't have the time to spend hours of searching and researching. Any help would be appreciated!!
