Some Advice/Mentoring an 18yo HS Senior

[Keith Hoard]

I'd explain that the reality of the situation is that the majority of the
next 10 weeks needs to be used for flight instruction, not building a kit,
especially with all of the other demands on her time.  I'd recommend
building a kit for her second airplane (assuming her interest continues
after soloing) and find an ARF trainer right now.  You can get the "whole
shebang in a box" Hobbico trainer (I'd recommend the 60 size) at your local
hobby shop and just let her use your field equipment.  The balance of the
money should go back into her college fund.

Just my $0.02. . . .
