I understand the thought... but..

My opinion would be to give them something half decent

Firstly more reliable and will give them better control

Also with neckstrap fitted its unlikely to get dropped and they more likely to take greater care if its bit posher

A 3vc or 3vcs can be had for 65 to 90 odd quid with either frsky or orange receivers to keep costs down.

And if you decide to upgrade later. You wont lose money on it.

My 3vcs has just been replaced by a 7xc
After 17 years of loyal service.

Dont get that kind of value for money on any other rc item
