My son just got this moder airplane for his birthday. Any day now we're going to start putting it together but I have no experience. Anyone here ever done this? Does anyone know of a model airplane version of Sawmill Creek?
Thanks,

THe folks at the Academy of Model Aeronautics may be a good place to start.

I used to build model airplanes as replicas (B17s, P51s) and sell them to collectors or actual pilots. Spent quite a few hours on them.

Boy, this takes me back.... Balsa and tissue as a kid, 7 foot spruce R/C Piper Cub as a bigger kid.
Practice a bit and go for it. Nothing teaches a kid more than seeing an adult fight his way to success. It builds confidence.
Work out a few basic moves with him so he doesn't get too hurt (like cut AWAY from you) and go away for a few hours.

Read the directions a couple of times, looks like a basic unit and shouldn't be to hard, becareful, next step is RC controled planes and they can be habit forming...and fun..
Good to hear you and your son are doing this, make sure he gets to do his share and if things go wrong, consider it a part of the learning curve and try again, each plane I built got a bit better, as I figured out what to and not to do.
