15 years ago this would have been a lot different.
It would have ended in tears but modern rc flying with inexpensive parts & foam board is a delight.
This was the 2nd flight of the day.
I'd been fighting a tail heavy plane but the previous flight was almost 8 mins.
So wanted to try 1 more thing but well...
My son had been enjoying the view from the FPV goggles.
I'm really glad he has learned/recognized this fun and a crash is not the end of the world.
When we thundered in the YC-14 last summer he was very upset.
This summer we are going to fly a twin prop egg dropping beast.
My son will have a 4 egg hooper at his command and use the FPV goggle to line up and release them on target while I fly.
Can't wait.
