Stuart, I am new to the WW so others may have better answers to your questions. But for what it is worth: Yes, drop by your friendly hobby shop; who knows you may find some other neat stuff to build with your 5-year old! It is a pretty tiny plane and you will be able to build

There's a new Whipper Whiz Hop-Ups page with some info from Tom Broesky and John O'Sullivan, including some pictures of the hot-rodded Whiz's they've used for record flights. Hmmm. Maybe if I build one with dual fins I could post about this on the RC Jets list (F15 Whiz?).
