Prepare yourself to be impressed!! video link
« on: October 07, 2008, 06:01:40 AM »
This last weekend we had a picnic at RCCD. Mike Paris came down with his family so he could fly his Sky Ray in front of a crowd to show us some new stuff he can do with a model plane. According to his sister and his dad he just started doing this stuff one day and took the whole family by surprise.
He wowed us all at RCCD. I think it's awesome that a 9 year old has gotten such a good handle on flying control line. If he keeps this up he could be a Nats winner in a few years in the Open category. Check out his flight at the link below.

That kid flies better than I do and I been at this for 50+ years.  Hmph.

Must be in the genes. Yeh, that's it...none of my ancestors flew so of course I'm at a disadvantage.

Those overhead eights were awesome. Wish mine looked that good.

Mike and Grace are both flying very well. And John is doing a great job of bringing them kids up and teaching them useful skills that will work well for them throughout their lives. I'm just the guy with the cam corder but I'm honored to be able to record some of this stuff for posterity. While I'm capturing and editing the video it dawns on me that I've just gotten done living and sharing with good friends a "good ole day".
Now all you guys better get out to the circle and practice because those kids are coming to a circle near you.
