To answer your question, I got my plane at Hobby Town in Baton Rouge. I doubt they carry the Phantom anymore, but they probably carry the Champ, because it's new. I'm sure Big Boy Toys and Hobbies and Cajun RC and Paintball in Lafayette have them too. What ever you do, if you get your daughter an rc plane, Please stay away from 2 channel planes. They only have throttle and steering. To climb, you add throttle, and to descend, you let off throttle. I had one years ago, and i did enjoy it. But I crashed it more times than I flew it. If it stalls, HOPEFFULLY it's high enough to pull out of a dive on its own. If you try to pull it out by adding throttle, and you're not high enough, you just smack it into the ground even harder. Trust me, it's worth the few more bucks to learn on a 3 channel, which has throttle, steering, and elevator. Also, find someone who has flown rc planes to show her. It will be worth it. These planes (mine and the Champ) are EASY to learn on. Most of these 3 ch park flyers have some sort of gentle setting for new flyers, and more aggressive for those with experience. She'll love it and probably you will too.
