It's a shame the kids today are not overly interested, in our club most have teenagers, none are interested, my son occasionally flies, but mostly he just loves the BMFA stickers his membership gets lol (his confidence was knocked last year when he crashed one of my planes, I wasn't annoyed that he crashed it, the only thing that concerned me was where it crashed (into a house) nothing was damaged other than pride, but he's also very impatient and doesn't want to learn - he can't believe it took me weeks to teach myself to fly).
I'm hoping one day he'll just get so fedup with the computer that he will want to go out and fly with his old man, but until then I'll just wait, I'm patient lol.
My LongEZ flew twice, first time it did a loop then crashed, second time it went round the field a few times before the ESC caught fire (too small) and it got cremated, luckily it had just rained so no bush fires.
