This is a shot of my Grandson's first session flying my Raptor 50 (third tank). He has some G2 time but finds it "boring" he says the real thing is much easier

He does not "like" the sim but the smell and noise and all the moving parts made it "come alive"

Grandson

Doug, just dont push him, let him want to do it. This is Alan Sr typing now. When my son started at 10 thats all he wanted to do. We would go to the flying fleld every weekend end and spend 12 hrs both days. After a couple of months I would see he would goof off while there and I started to say, come on lets practice. Then I realized hes only 12 and a just a kid and wanted to play whlie there also. One I accepted this I didnt push him, I would let him do his own thing. Im glad I did that cause I might of caused him to loos intrest. Now Im just as proud as you are, for in less then 4 years of flying he gets invited to participate in the 3D Extremes in Troy Ohio in June 21 thru 23. Keep smiling Doug, I know how you feel when some of them older pilots are watching.

Dad.

He lives on the "other coast" and as a result I will only be able to fly with him every couple of weeks. I think that "yesterday's" flying made him see that the sim is hard because the real thing is hard. He had enough control after three tanks for me to stand where I was and take some video (which this is one frame) I have some really hilarious video taken by him of me flying (lots of sky and ground) and an occasional helicopter

What a priviledge!

I can't imagine the joy in sharing this sport with a grandson.

I remember when an old friend of my cried. I asked him what was wrong. He said it was one of the proudest days of his life. His grandson had whipped his butt on the golf course (Firestone).

I can't wait for the day when my son's son flies circles around me!

I wish i had a grandpa like you. Its very hard to progress in this hobby if my parents don't like the hobby very much. At least i'm the legal working age so i should get a job or something. Sigh...
