    He's been simming quite a bit and is raring to go fly the real thing. (I'm hearing a fair amount of crashing on the sim at the moment. LOL)

      That is Great news! welcome to the high adrenalin, brain draining quick thinking reflex sport that is very addictive ONCE you get over the learning hump! Look forward to seeing him take on the big guns... Remember at this stage while crashing on the sim, bent pixels cost nothing!

      No tricks, just working on hovering. He did have a good time though.

      Oh good stuff! so long as he is enjoying it. If he can get over the learning hump and have a good time doing it then all the better!.

      Tommy is lucky to have you there guiding him, it can be tough to get into if you know no-one

      I was buddy boxing Tommy. He was ready for the piro-flip but didn't want to show up Grandpa!

      Seriously, he did great. I got a new appreciation for buddy boxing. I wish I had somebody to buddy box me. Would've been a lot less crashing!

      Sorry for my absence, but I have been on a trip with Tommy and my wife. We went to Yosemite, Mono Lake, Carson City, and Lake Tahoe. I took over 180 pictures to document the trip, of those, these two are his favorites. I don't know why!

      He has a great excuse for his absence, and the pics to prove it (fly what? not interested ATM)
      Cheers Mate
