I have an Aeroworks 50cc Yak and highly recommend it as a the next plane for your son. It truely is a quick build in that the alierons and elevators have already been assembled for you. This saves a lot of time in the building process. The canopy, cowl, and covering make the plane stand out like no other.

Now that I have given you all of the positives about the plane, let me tell you my concerns. It builds out a little heavy in my opinion (over 17 lbs.) Also the landing gear area is weak. The first thing you should do is strengthen this area, as any side loading on the landing gear will result in a rip out (i.e. landing and giving the plane a generous amount of left/right rudder to turn it).

That said, I have been pleased with Aeroworks customer service and look forward to buying another one of their planes soon.
