Yes, it does require model glue and paint and some other modeling tools to assemble the plane kit.The skill level will depend on your 13 year old's ability to build this model and rather if he or she has built many or any model kits before. Some of these models can be quite intricate and require a great amount of skill to assemble. I would suggest a snap together model kit if your 13 year old has not built and painted many of these types of kits in the past. I hope that my answer has helped you to decide if this is right for your teen or not. I would be glad to answer any more questions that would arise about any type or skill level of any model that you might have. Thanks, Dave.

Yes it is. I found the super cub very easy to fly as a beginner. It is also a tough old bird. I would recommend disconnecting ACT before flying. It can usually cause more problems than it prevents.

no, also, it's RTF (ready to fly package), but you will have to assemble wings to the main fuselage and glue in tail, but everything is included. only little assembly required that is.

There is a little bit of assembly, yes, but nothing too bad. No glue required. Five deck guns, two anchors and two catapults. All are simple plug-ins. You'll need a mini Philips screwdriver to remove/replace the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the ship.

no you will need to buy launch engines (see often purchased with) and glue to assemble the rocket (pretty easy, about 30 min)

It comes as a kit with only the body, which you must assemble. Mine is still in the box from last September. A good servo, ESC, motor and controller are another couple of hundred dollars. It looks like a terrific plane if I ever get it together but I don't dare yet because my Radian Park Flyer lasted only 5 minutes before a nose dive and subsequent destruction (at least I now have all the parts to put in the seaplane :-) ).

It does not require glue, but it's not as easy as a kid's toy. It should be fine as a gift for your brother if he's patient and ok with smallish pieces.

I believe the decals are already on it. There is some assembly required, but it's not bad at all. Everything pretty much slides into place, there is no glue involved. Also, you will need to tie the parachute and the string that attaches to the top cap of the rocket, so once it hits it's highest altitude, the top pops off and the parachute comes out to allow it to float back tot he ground. Hope this answers your question.

It does not come with glue, paint, or any model building tools. While not overly intricate, the rigging is not accomplished easily and requires some skills beyond that of a novice builder. My son 12 yrs old and I have been slowly finishing rigging the ship since mid winter.

If you can put together a 'regular' glue it model, or can follow instructions well, you should have no troubles. If you do have any issues, there are forums on the web with boatloads of help like rcuniverse.com or rcgroups.com

Yes you will need paint and glue. It could be left white if you did not want to paint the model. It's a very detailed plastic model for an intermediate to experienced builder.

The plane is not very powerful but a good beginning place. I'm not very good at flying remote control airplanes so I wanted something inexpensive and light. I've crashed it about 40 or 50 times and yes it's broken in several places but easily repaired and still flies great. it's an inexpensive way to gain some skills in remote control airplane flying

No glue needed. Just like you said peel off the stickers and pour sand. My kids love them a lot. It is fun for adults too.

I believe it was a kit to build the plane. All the planes I made were from model kits. I gavemy completed planes to a grandson and don't have them any longer for me to refer too. I think the only one I had problems withwas a kit for a very small size plane. Wish I could help you more. If you contact the Seller, they can usually answer any questions you may have.

Yes, you have to put together the wings, connect the engine to the control, glue the the back wings on, put the wheels, and glye the airilions as well....pretty easy though

Yes. This is a great plane to get into the hobby with. I would recommend it highly.

This is a decent plane for someone that age who is patient. One suggestion is to consider a 1/32 size plane as the parts are a little larger and easier to assemble.
