Would this be good for a 12 year old beginner?

Welllllll, it's hard to say. It takes some skill to keep this craft under control. Easier than an airplane, but it can quickly get out of hand - and crash. Ironically, my thousand dollar DJI Phantom 2 Vision is easier to control than the 180 QX. The Vision is GPS and compass controlled. The 180 is totally controlled by your command of the 'sticks'. It's quieter, and quite possibly faster - and a lot of fun. Flight times are shorter but so are recharge times. If you help your 12 year old, it might be fine.

I would probably start a 10 yr old on a smaller size esp a beginner. This however would be a good next guitar for someone who may go from beginner to novice and then a little older/bigger

It is good for beginners. My 13 year old uses it and his only experience on a board prior was a penny board. He rides it around the neighborhood a lot and it hasn't shown any signs of wear or cracking.

Yes I think it would be too young for a 12year old. I bought it for 5 & 6 year olds.

I think it depends on the 12 year old. All the exercises start off simply enough and get progressively harder. Some of them could prove difficult. However there are so many options in this program that I think you could find enough to start off with and leave the harder stuff for later. You can't start ear training soon enough if you're serious about music so I'd encourage you to purchase it. Their customer support is pretty fantastic as well.

It would be perfect for any beginner.However you will learn so quick u will have to upgrade eventually.

This is indeed remote controlled. Whether or not it is appropriate for a 12 year old depends entirely on the 12 year old. If they have any experience with a remote controlled helicopter before, then this would be a fine gift for them. If they have no such experience but enjoy the challenge of mastering a new skill and have a great deal of patience then this may also be a good gift. If they have no RC experience and don't handle crashes well, I would suggest a coaxial 3-channel helicopter instead. They are much easier to fly, though this will be more rewarding if and when it is mastered.

I personally like it.. if you're a beginner is great but upgrade in the future

Yes, it is a good machine especially for a total beginner. Why? Because 1. It's not one of those toys going for $25.00 that breaks as soon as you plug it in, causes frustration and you end up quitting; and 2. Janome is one of the top 3 BEST sewing machine makers in the world. They stand behind their products and they do not disappoint. Very few Janomes end up in the repair shop. You want to start out with something simple so you can avoid confusion and learn the basics like I did. This machine is simple. If you have a good teacher (yeah, Youtube can be very helpful), follow the instruction manual, take your time and start with small simple projects you will do fine on this machine. This is why so many schools buy this very model for their sewing students in home ec class. This machine is white just like in the photo. It comes with a 5 pack of spare universal needles size 12 and maybe 6 spare bobbins. You should buy needles since you should change needles every project or every 4 hours of sewing time which ever comes first. Janome Brand, Organ or Schmetz flat shank are good. If you need more bobbins I would find a certified Janome dealer to buy from. Not all bobbins fit all machines. Do not use anything SINGER with this machine. And finally, make sure you buy from an authorized Janome dealer or the warranty will be void. Contact Janome for a list of dealers in your area. They have a website and FB page.

Yes, I bought this for my 12 year old and it's very sturdy. I have also played around on it. It will last a long time.

my 12 year old son uses it and he is only stands 5 feet tall and it's a right one for a beginner.

It depends. If the 12 year old has some experience painting, I do not think it would be too difficult. I have worked on many paint-by-number kits, and this one was not one of the most difficult to paint.

I think it would depend on how strong he is. I am not that strong, and I was able to get it together, but it was not all that easy. If you do buy this for your 12 yr old, help him put it together before he actually tries to do it by himself.

Yes it would be great for a novice of his age. It is a great learning tool for the drum also. I find myself needing a a real drum set after only a few months,

I think it is ok for a beginner, because he can use it immediately, as a point and shoot camera. The difference is that this camera will permit the gradual discovery of a lot of new possibilities, to beginners really interested in photography. .

I guess it would depend on how tall he or she is. It does expand a bit, but even at the longest length it isn't too large for my 6-year-old (50 inches tall) to use... so I'm guessing that it would seem small for a 12 year old...

Yes, I would say so. If the action is adjusted right (which mine was, right out of the box) then it should be easy on the fingers. It's fun to play and it sounds great - and it looks great. You can get cheaper starter guitars, but if this is in your price range, go for it.
