And don't bother with any of the flying clubs, unless you're into rules, red tape, and listening to old people talk to you all day. They are definitly a good place to go if you are looking to get into the serious side of the hobby, but not if you just want to get out and have some quick fun.
There a few good electric trainer kits out there. Just ask at any hobby store. Its ~$340 all in to get yourself a good setup up and in the air.

Good luck when your park flying results in an accident or injury. The clubs are there for a reason, controlled airspace and liability insurance being the most important. Except for the very lowest performance park flyers (toys), the potential for injury to a small kid is still pretty high. Let’s face it, even a
perceived injury to a kid is going to land you in no end of trouble once a parent gets wind of it.
As for the club being full of old people, nice stereotyping. Our club has a demographic cross section running from kids all the way to old timers, of all kinds of professions, sort of like...real life. Sucks, I guess, if that’s an issue for you.
