Growing up, my daughter showed no interest in my model planes. She is an adult now, living in a city far away and here to spend a week with her ol' dad. We didn't have much planned for the afternoon and wanting to spend as much quality time with her as possible, in a joke I said "the weather's great, would you like to go out C/L flying and I'll teach you how". To my surprise she said "you bet!"
So out we went with my .049 powered Coroplast indestructible trainer. At first, I had her hand launch and when the model was flying well, she came into the circle and I handed her the handle. She cracked up a couple of times but then got the hang of it. After a couple of complete flights, I launched and she must have put in at least a dozen good flights, in fact she started to complain that the model wasn't maneuverable enough....... she wanted to try a loop!
You could say, I was delighted!
