[NSRCA-discussion] Beginner advice

[Del]

John.. 
 
Not taking anything away from the excellent suggestions so far but may I suggest tempering it with does she have video gaming experience and may become easily bored is to basic and easy to fly. (I assume you have access or will use a buddy cord system). I have seen some turned away because it was so easy for them d/t past gaming experiences. She may enjoy the bonding of building with you also.. All are children are different and have different aspirations. Just FYI.

  John,
  Thanks for the support!
  That's exactly why I prefer to ask this group rather than go elsewhere.
  I feel everyone here is like you say..."sincere and well meaning".
