7 years old, My Grandson is a chip off the old block
« on: August 26, 2011, 07:15:56 AM »
My Grandson at age 4 was infactuated with my old S1, I told him when he was 4 that it was a Ringmaster and that he could have it when turns 10 if he learns how to fly.

Well now he's 7 and I'm going have to break my promise to him, he gets the Ringmaster now, you should see this kid fly man talk about natural talent.

His name is Jayden he's my best friend and I love him with all of my heart.

Some of the most fun I have had in this hobby was teaching some of my grandkids to fly. You have a great flying buddy.

He looks great with those planes.  Now he is on a lifetime learning curve as well as allthe friends he will gain.   H^^

 I have written off my grand kids even tho the planes are ready to fly any time.  Even had the kit I was going to let my grandson have to start with.  Just love it when someone convinces youngsters they shouldn't play with toy planes. VD~

We got my little 8 year old cousin to start flying. So far, he hasn't soloed yet but only flown a couple times, and he's starting to really enjoy this!

Good lookin' kid, Steve. Keep the gurls away from him, or he'll end up like me...old and married.  LL~ Steve
