Default RE: 2 and a half year old pilot!!!

In this case the kid has been around his dad a lot and he fly's helis, boats, and cars plus his sim. He also brought home a Bob Cat to put in his race track in the back yard, no land scaping yet so he did it. He also has a pre run off road racer and the grand kid is with him all the time helping work on the car. The nuts are broken loose then the kid gets to remove them with dad holding the wratchet so it doesn't slip, all the time telling the kid what the parts are and what they do.
He talks plain without any baby talk and repeats everything said, you really have to watch how you talk in front of him!! For fun Igave him a tower talk and he points out servos and TXs and lets you know what they are and do. He thinks the P-51 is the best plane. He is happy for hours with just the tower talk?? Then Igave him the HOrizon book for his ride home.
These kids today are just so far advanced in a lot of things that Istill don't understand. Alot less advanced in other stuff too. They are growing up wit a joy stick in there hands in front of a computer so I'm not too surprised in how fast they learn. My 12 year old student was able to solo in one day, took me weeks of flying the buddy box and a couple of years to not have my knees knocking and sweat on my brow every time Ihad to land.
I'm just ammazed at them!!
