RE: 7 year old flying
Here is the youngest I am working with, five years old and just started yesterday. Three flights and he is doing fine at keeping the wings level. He does fly coaxial helicopters reasonably well and I feel he is gonna do fine. No relation, he and his dad are recent recruits to our club.
His attention span seems to be about four minutes so that is what I am keeping flights at.
He is flying my Senior Kaydet , OS .35AX using the aurora traning system which is awesome especially for this situation.
The Air plane also just had a complete recover since it was sacrificed at our recent paint ball shoot.
