My son's first buld and maiden flight!

[Gerald]

My son decided to start flying planes, He has been using the simulator and flying my HZ Mini Super Cub.
He bought and built the FT Old Fogey, Got a radio and all the stuff to make it fly!
So here is a video of the maiden and a couple pictures of it!

That's cool Gerald, I hope to be flying with my son in the next couple months. I gave him a plane for his birthday in November.

Looks like it was a fun build.

I'm going to have to push the RCH Trainer, too. Although I've not built the v3 Trainer yet, both the v1 and v2 Trainers were simple to build and a great deal of fun to fly. Nonetheless, that FT Old Fogey was flying very well. I'm hoping to see another video of your son flying it again.

Well done, my son and myself have been flying together for about 30 years, there is nothing more satisfying and even though we now live 2000KM apart it still binds us together.
