Do you have a bored child around this summer after school is out?
Why not try some real low cost DIY fun things that fly?
How about a $4.00 hot air balloon made from a painter's drop cloth that has
enough lift to carry a camera aloft?
If you have a lot more money, say about $17.00, why not build a rocket
glider?

Hey folks, roasting hot dogs and getting fishing trips/sunburn goes just so
far for kids these days.
