The "Big B", my sons first trainer
Today is my son Benjamin's 5th birthday. Several months ago at the F3A championship here in Argentina my flying buddy asked me when I was going to teach my son to fly. So we came up with the idea to have him a plane ready for his 5th birthday. After several months of working a few afternoons a week in his shop we completed the "Big B"
Its scratch built and based loosely on the plans of the QB Monster. Its power by a Magnum 91 4 stroke. Length 60", wingspan 92", cord 14", weight 9.5 lbs. 2 piece wing with flaps and removable horizontal stab.
It was my first scratch build and probably my last. It took forever to build.
To top everything off we even had a plane shaped cake with the same design.
What age did you teach your kids to fly?
