A new student flys solo!

Posted by David on May 2, 2009

I have been training Kyle for a few weeks now.  When I first introduced him to RC, and asked him if he’s ever like to fly someday, his response was “Nah.”  🙂  But once he was able to fly the RealFlight G4.5 Simulator, he started to see why flying RC is so much fun.  Pretty soon he was asking me (and having his mom ask me) every day if we could go fly. 

I am happy to report that this past Thursday Kyle was able to solo the Super Cub as his next step in the training program.  With this major milestone out of the way he will be on to more flying with the same plane, and shortly after he will upgrade to a 4-Channel plany (with ailerons).  He is excited to get there, but even more exicted to have accomplished his first solo flight.  Thanks to Marty Jones offerring to film, you can experience his joy in the video below.
