Hobby-grade RC kits have to be one of the most useful educational "toys" you can give children, even today. My childhood street had a circle of boys who regularly did RC stuff together, our bedrooms overflowing with kits, parts, tools, it was borderline obsessive. But as we became young adults, it was very apparent that we had learned a whole lot of valuable skills the kids whose parents refused to spend money on the relatively expensive toys lacked. I remember like it was yesterday a friend letting me take one of his disassembled kits unfamiliar to me home without the instructions so I could put it back together "blind" for the fun of it. It was just a box full of tiny screws and parts, such a great puzzle, with only the box exterior photos to go from. It was a Kyosho Lazer ZX-R, I coveted that kit.
