Status: offline 		i'm 14.... there are people who can play piano REALLY well at 3. think of all the stuff you could do when u where 6? you could walk, talk, hopefully dress yourself, tie your shoe (maybe), and carry on a conversation. there are little kid's learning to do all kinds of stuff. maybe there's some jealousy??? lol. but i think that if the kid is that good at flying.... then let him fly!!!!!

Status: offline 		Ok people you asked for this little guys name, well if any of you read RCModeler, and have back issues. Check out May 2002 issue.

on page 12 it has a picture of this kid. name: Tristan Walker from marietta ohio.

there's a paragraph or 2 in the article on the 2001 air show in shelby ohio.

it state's:

Young - Like 4 1/2 years old. Tristan Cline from Marietta, Ohio, flew his 1/4 scale Space Walker, and i do mean he flew the wheel pants off it. He all but shut the show down and what a little ham - tipping his hat and bowing to the crowd after every fight.

picture is on pg. 12, article is on page 14.

there's your proof.

I KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT CHECK OUT THE MAGAZINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's weird, I would never expect a magazine to publish,

"like 4 1/2 years old"
that sounds like a 14y/o girl write that...
no offense to any around here

"and i do mean he flew the wheel pants off it"
HA! I've never seen a magazine say, flew the pants off of it...that's some dumb way of saying it, never used "officially"...sort of slang...
"I do mean"?????
mag's never write in first person - err, at least the picture captions never do.

Anyway, maybe you're right! Look at my last post - I said I "believ" you - oops...believE...
