Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys creating and flying remote control airplanes and drones, there are several gift options that he will surely appreciate and enhance his hobby even further.

1. Drone Kit: Consider purchasing a drone kit that requires assembly. This will not only allow your son to showcase his building skills but also provide him with the opportunity to learn more about the various components and mechanics of a drone. Look for kits that have beginner-friendly instructions and include all the necessary parts.

2. Upgrade Parts: If your son already has a drone or remote control airplane, consider gifting him with some upgrade parts. This could be a better camera, propellers, batteries, or even a transmitter with more advanced features. Upgrading the components can greatly enhance his flying experience and allow him to explore new capabilities.

3. Simulator Software: Another great gift idea is simulator software designed specifically for remote control flying. This will enable your son to practice his piloting skills without the risk of crashing or damaging his actual aircraft. Look for simulator programs that offer realistic physics and a wide range of aircraft models to choose from.

4. Flight Accessories: Help your son enhance his flying experience by gifting him with some practical accessories. Consider getting him a high-quality remote control transmitter glove or strap to improve comfort during long flights. You could also consider a durable carrying case to protect his equipment while on the go.

5. Books and Magazines: To further expand your son's knowledge about remote control flying, consider gifting him with books or subscriptions to magazines that focus on the topic. There are numerous publications available that cover everything from beginner techniques to advanced aerodynamics and building techniques.

6. Flying Lessons: If your son is interested in taking his flying skills to the next level, consider enrolling him in a flying lesson or workshop. Many local flying clubs or drone schools offer courses geared towards beginners. This hands-on experience will not only improve his skills but also provide him with the opportunity to meet other enthusiasts.

7. FPV Goggles: If your son enjoys the thrill of first-person view (FPV) flying, consider gifting him with a pair of FPV goggles. These goggles will allow him to see through the eyes of his aircraft, immersing him in the flying experience like never before. Look for goggles with features like a high-resolution display and adjustable head straps for a comfortable fit.

8. Membership to a Flying Club: Consider gifting your son with a membership to a local flying club or association. Being part of a flying community will not only allow him to meet like-minded individuals but also provide access to flying fields and events where he can learn and grow as a pilot.

Remember to take into account your son's flying experience level and preferences when choosing a gift. By selecting something that aligns with his interests, you can help him further develop his passion for remote control airplanes and drones while creating lasting memories.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
