Hi Bev, glad to see you here again. The same kid was only 12 when my partner and I took him out for the first time. It was the last day my flying partner and I could fly together before he moved to Texas so we flew in wind that was blowing a constant 28. We didn't tell him you couldn't fly in high winds and we had no buddy box that day, did the old trade off of the TX for him. At the end of the day he wanted to know why other guys were pulling up with planes in there vans but not getting out to fly, they would just park and watch us? We just told him some people didn't want to risk there planes flying in the wind. He was never afraid of the wind until he started to fly his own planes!! If I tell him to fly one of mine he is all for it! Go figure? He liked the Fun 51 a lot better then my Kaos.
