I'm looking for inexpensive, small, wood airplanes that a 10 year can put together easily without having to read instructions (his knowledge of English is minimal), maybe an online store. Any suggestions?

In that case I would think you could get the lod balsa wood planes where the wings slide in slots, no instructions needed but more of a toy than a model. should be able to get them at a hobby shop or toy shop.

Are you looking for something flyable or?
I believe some craft stores like Michael's have small wooden kits, not flyable but might suit your needs. |

Check out this web site. There are some great planes shown. Tell the 10 yr old to look closely at the pictures if they can not read/understand the words.

Yes, flyable but also small enough to fit inside a 6x9 mailer--that's the catch. |
