Hello,
One of my favorite toys as a kid was called Super Star. It was a an electric airplane made by Mattel. The Super Star used simple cams that rotated to adjust it's flight path. It was able to do basic stunts depending on what cam was loaded into the aircraft. I guess you can say it was an early version of a drone that could fly autonomously.
It would be great to build an electric plane that kids could pre-program to do basic stunts and task. The control unit would be modular to keep cost down. You could re-use it if the aircraft became damaged.
Best,
