A friend and I took out his son and another kid, ages 13 and 11, to fly for the first time. I brought along 4 of my Minnie Delta trainers to be sure we wouldn't run out of planes...what a blast. The older boy is catching on pretty well, the younger will need a little more handle time, but both are enthused.
I brought back 4 airplanes too! Only used one all afternoon, multiple crashes, but the MD is a tough little plane. Very windy, really shouldn't have been flying but didn't want to disappoint the boys; they had a hard time handling the oscillating in the wind. They were figuring it out toward the end. Future sessions planned. And they want to Build Their Own!
