Would this be appropriate for a 7 year old or is he too young to handle this plane?

Oh yeah! I have gotten one for all 3 of my 7 year old grandsons. All love it and can operate it well. Be aware that this is for indoor use only. It is much to light to handle even the gentlest breeze. The plane is very sturdy and I let them fly it in my living room, with no adverse consequences.

We actually got it for my 6 yr olds birthday. It does take a bit of practice to handle. Another suggestion is the Animal Planet Teradactyl remote control flier if he is into dinosaurs.

It takes a little practice, but my 7 and 6 year old love it. You need a second person to launch it , but then the controls are easy. Be aware that is seems cheap when ypu first open it, but it is sturdy. If it were heavier it wouldn't be so easy to maneuver.

Depends on the seven year old. The plane is easy to fly but, extreme care.must be taken when picing the plane up as it's mostly Styrofoam.

Absolutely! My 4 year old son has been flying this specific heli and LOVES it. If my 4 year old can do it, an 8 year old definitely can.

As for level of difficulty flying, he should be able to handle it well. I would recommend adult supervision while he flys it as it could cause injury if it hit an eye or such. It is very light and will not hurt anything material it hits. Read the manual and make sure he understands it's use especially handeling LiPo batteries. Hope this helps.

This is really designed for a smaller child. However, a not too tall seven years old, can use it too. It is a present I bought for my grandchild when he was two and a half but his older brother used it too.

That would be a tight fit. A seven year old could sit in it, not stand or lie down. I wanted to add that the mesh on the sides is also ripping with just my three year old playing it

It should be just fine for a 7 year old. It can be as small as 10 inches up to 21 inches. It has 6 snaps for adjusting to different sizes. I love mine.

that's hard to say. I believe that would be more age appropriate but the quality of the train was disappointing. but once its set up your child would probably enjpy it---mine wants to investigate and that's not a good thing for this train. hope that helps

I bought the tent for my 4 year granddaughter this past Christmas. She loves it and yes, it is big enough for a "small 7 year old." However, since it is not bolted to anything, it would not stand up to rigorous physical play for older children. If your child is tall, she may soon outgrow the height and would only be able to sit inside but not stand. Not sure I would purchase this particular one for an older child. Hope this info helps....

I bought this for my 5 year old and she has learned how to control it, although there are of course crashes (which it handles just fine). It has variable maximum speeds, so you can start with a slower maximum speed. I think this would be great for an 8 year old.

Yes should have no issue for a 7 yr. old, it has adjustable seat and handle.

Definitely not I don't believe any child under seven or eight should try to fly this helicopter it can hurt you

Yes I would say that 3 to 7 yrs old could ride it. Our great granddaughter love it. Because she canwork it herself. It is made real well Barb

I think it would be fine. I bought it for an 11 year old and he loves it. My 7 year old uses it as well!

It would probably be most appropriate for 4-5 year olds. I bought it for my 6 year old son and he was done with it in about 20 minutes.

It is a very cool looking & fun plane, but takes some patience to learn to fly it as a beginner. Maneuvers pretty quickly due to all the wing surface and short fuselage. Go for it, but "learn" out in a non-wind day & big tall grassy area until you get used to landing it. Have fun!!

This is a model plane for, I would say, not good for someone under 16 years. My son is an Air Force crew chief and works on this type of aircraft and he is 22 years. We both enjoyed puting the pieces together. A sharp knife is needed to trim the plastic pieces before adding glue to assemble the plane. And then the plane needs to be painted. There are probably over 100 small pieces, the plane is about 12 inches front to back and about 16 inches across the wings.
