I would say, get him a DLG he can transport to a local park or schoolyard any time and Let him fling the heck out of that... HLG's force you to get in lots of landing practice and teach you how to read air quickly... I've read that many pro's have this opinion.
This way, you and he can work the 2-meter together when you're available with your winch or hi-start, etc, but he has the *option* to also stake out his own "ownership" of the sport on his personal time. He m,ight think that's fun, building skills he can surprise you with. I would suggest the DLG be something sturdy, made with EPP, perhaps a Boomer or one of the other flying wing types, maybe the Red Herring or Alula. These are compact, sturdy, easy to fix, inexpensive, compared to Open class ships. Heck, he might even find a place to slope it. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
