Default RE: I did it!! solo flight


ORIGINAL: Insanemoondoggie

We had a 12 year old girl show up with her Nextstart this week end. She had got it for X-mas and had been practicing on the Sim and after she could land 20 times with no problems, her Dad brought her to the feild.
It was great watching her fly and we all were surprized by how well she did. The instructor said she would`nt be on the box long.
You`ll do fine , the Sim is a great learning tool, and should help you to a speedy Solo. Good luck.

My mate (chairman of our club) has Aerofly Pro deluxe, and his 8 year old son sat on it every day after school over the winter.
When he finally got to fly a real model he was off the box by the 4th flight. I was present, totally stunned. Sims definately work.
