Also...I always take my son with me. He's 6 and I cant list all of the things people just give him. One time a guy gave him a complete glider. People at swap meets, for the most part...are just good people. Heck, people in this hobby in general are just good people to be around.I enjoy the friendship as much, if not more...than the flying and such. Its harder and harder these days to find people that actually want to help others. Great hobby all the way around.
For sure. And it's great that you expose your son to quality people like this.
It helps establish that things are not necessarily as bad or as selfish as what is often seen via media.
This is bound to give him a good outlook on life along with the shared memories and experience.
I couldnt agree more! I havent started him flying yet as his attention span just isnt there. He definitely wont be the next Justin Jee! LOL But he does have the interest and its fun to watch him with his field box(I have so many I just gave him one for his own, minus battery of course) and starter and glo plug wrench. He has several planes that hes been given and a couple of old radios. His imagination is huge and he will stand over a plane, holding it back with his heels as if he is tuning it.
Cant wait till next season. He will be half way to 8 years old by then and hopefully will have the desire to learn to fly. Then we can both enjoy this hobby to its fullest together. He actually has the desire now...just I can tell hes not ready because I let him try the SIM from time to time and he wont concentrate on what hes doing. Its hilarious to watch him though!
