Default For all you dad's out there.

I just got back from the feild tonight with my son Andrew, who soloed three times tonight. I thought he was going to loose it when I told him he was ready for solo. He was smileling ear to ear. I gave him the transmitter said your ready. Letter bump, I said. He shoved up the throttel and gotter done. made some low passes, set it up for a landing and greesed it in. Broke the prop on the last landing. I told him I wished I had a dimm for every prop I had broken. Its one of those days you never forget.

Buy the way he was flying a Hobbico trainer

That's awesome! How old is he? I wish my son would show more interest, he's about to turn 7. Maybe one day.
