If he looks like he will be keen to advance in the hobby then the best investment would be a flight simulator for the pc. Realflight do a great simulator that comes with a full size futaba style controller. And from experience, its much cheaper to press the space bar than pick up the pieces and pull out the credit card again.. Especially with the heli's. Mine average $250.00 per bounce when gravity wins. And they normally bounce more than once. :

Good luck
good advice , and very funny. i used to say a good days flying cost $50 , AND A BAD DAY $500 +
