We did not get to fly today as the winds were very strong. I did put the plane on the flight stand and we stood behind it while he was pretending to fly. I showed him what little input on the sticks would look like on the plane. I think he understood that it didn't take much stick movement to make one of the control surfaces move. I had him show me left and right hand turns, straight and level, climb and then dive. I think we made some progress at least on the flight stand. I had him use the thumb and index finger on the right stick. We practiced climbing then going to straight and level. Several times going to straight and level he could see that he was still holding the stick back. now if this will translate to him getting in the air, we are making progress. It is suppose to rain tomorrow (again) so we will be on hold until Thursday.


Hummmm,,, should that be the wind was very strong and not the winds were very strong. Can wind be plural?????
