RE: Nexstar
Way cool on the son!
I've had my boy to the field with me when I was training a couple times, but never let him fly (Instructor's choice not mine).
He gets bored pretty quickly this way and doesn't want to go anymore, so i didn't worry about it.
I've the FMS simulator on my PC and was playing that, he asks me if he can have a go. I figured sure, cant hurt it if you crash this!
He goes up, and comes down.. Jumps and says "I'm sorry" to which I respond, "Not a problem John, try again" and hit the I button to reset.
After he plays just a bit, and I force him to listen to me telling him what stick movement does what he gets pretty dang good! I may have to get him up on my real plane soon as I have the skill to fly it myself! (With a qualified instructor of course)
