Hi John,
Hobby Lobby has a good selection of electric sail planes.

  I hope this isn't too far off subject but I would like to ask for the list's advice and recommendations.
  Some of you in D5 have met my youngest (11 yrs) daughter Elizabeth.  Up until now she has told 
  me she has no interest in learning to fly.  In the last week or so she seems to be showing a slight interest.
  She has started talking about wanting to "build" a plane with me.  I don't think I can hold her interest
  with a full blown kit construction, especially with winter here in Iowa just around the corner and the chances of having 
  it done before it turns too cold slim.  Also, I don't think I want to try to get her interested with some fire breathing
  glow plane that may intimidate her.  What about an electric sailplane?  Anyone have any suggestions along
  those lines?  Anyone been thru this before with one of their kids?  Nothing would make me happier than if she took
  up the hobby but I realize I need to go very slow and let her get in to it at her own pace.
  Thanks for any ideas!
  JLK
