I think it is called "Vicarious Living" when the parent attempts to live their life through their childs...I see nothing wrong with the father turning his son to RC...Better than turning him on to a joint.

As for the Great Planes Software, is it worth the money to invest in? I have thought about buying the basic software since my son has developed an interest in this wonderful sport.

However, I know about those fathers who insist that their son/daughter participate in EVERY SPORT. Let the child dictate in these matters, and not the parents!!!
