My favorite person to poke fun of is myself. However, on a rare occassion I get to pick on my dad and I can't let him live it down. I asked on this forum last year about a good trainer and the SuperCub was recommended, so I got one for my dad for Christmas. He's wanted to fly, but refused to spend any money on something he knew he'd tear up. Plus, he has zero experience, including simulators. I saw this as an opportunity to score big with a cool present and a good time I HAD to get on video.

Here is his and the plane's maiden voyage. In his defense, it's very windy, cold, and he wanted to wait, read up, and get a simulator first. I said no, you'regonna try flying itand the good time was well worth the mangled plane. I rarely get a chance to do anything with my dad and brother. If it had been a success we wouldn't have had nearly as much fun. Besides, there's too many good first flight vids. Ha!

Oh, see how it looped over at the beginning? It tried doing that several more times. We traced it to the receiver. It kept not responding even though it wasn't losing signal. Replaced it and flies much better. I'm actually glad we figured that out AFTER the beautiful loopty to lawn dart. Haha. Him yelling "NOOOOOOO!" was priceless.
