RE: My son and I soloed yesterday!
Update #6:
Wow, I saw another first with my son's flying last night. We both have made FFF Foamy Factory Extra 300's to replace our 3DX foamies. The 300's are more areobatic than the 3DX's and hence more fun.
They have an awesome roll rate. My son did several near perfect elevators last night! They were soooo good, almost no wing rocking and he actually belly landed from a 300 ft elevator straight down! It looks so cool. He is just amazing me with his emerging skills. He is practicing slow rolls and rolling circles now and can torque roll as long as he wants. He is practicing more control with tail-touching while torque-rolling on a beach towel. Once he perfects that he is going to make the target smaller and smaller.
It is really fun watching him learn. (he actually teaches me some of this 3D stuff!)
