Too young to play with engines?

My grandson can to visit and picked up an OS 15 and was playing with it. I took a couple of pictures and couldn't resist sharing them.

THAT's the way to break them in - the engine AND the grandkid!

I was given an Fox 35 stunt by someone in my Dad's office when I was 13, I flew that engine on a Carl Goldberg P-40 several summers after that.

Pay it forward and give an engine that you aren't using so another new pilot, I recently did that this past year with a set of lines and OS-35FP that I was not using, you never know what it will lead to.

I didn't start with engines, but I did have my own combat plane.
