D Extreme,
You sound like you are doing it right. Just take your time, you will know when you are ready.
OzMo,
Thank you. He has been bugging me to go flying again since we got home Sunday night. We are plannig to go again this weekend, and he wants to fly my Pulse XT. I told him as soon as he can fly the Nexstar in a circle inverted (two mistakes high of course) he can fly the Pulse. He is a really good little monster, I mean KID! Now my 9 year old daughter wants to start flying. She and I will start out on the sim, but I am not so sure she will have the patience.
bruce88123,
Thank you. I am real proud of him. He is a good kid. I will probably repeat that a few times, but hey, I'm supposed to brag.
KitBuilder,
I think you are right. As much as I hate to say this, but I think playing PS2 really helped him. He at least has "natural thumbs". LOL He wants to start building from kits, as do I. Problem is, he can't decide which one to build first, so of couse he wants them all. I am planning on the .60 Top Flight P-47 for me. Sure would appreciate any advice for a kit for Tanner.
Frank,
Thank you.
Tanner and I have read all the replys. We are amazed at all the different places that you all are from. It is even a little geography lesson for Tanner.

I know this is a long post, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who has ever posted information on this web site. Especially RCKen and bruce88123. I have no idea who you guys are, but you will never know how much you two have helped me. I have been reading a lot of threads, and trying to take in the info. I can say that I am self taught, as I never joined a club or had an instructor. But really I am "RCU" taught. I just took good advice from here, and now my son and I are having a blast.

One last thing. Anybody reading this who wants to get started flying RC planes.....GET AN INSTRUCTOR!!!!!
