My son took his first solo

Last night as I sat at my bench my 2yr old son came in and got a hold of my JU88 (I did for the bomber gb) and took it out for a spin.[:0] I wish I could say with fathers pride he would past his first solo flight but I have to hang my head because it came back in five pieces. [xx(]He really had a nice take off but the landing is what got him in trouble.[B)] Mybe he should start with something with one engine instead of a twin.

Ah well, we all have to start in the hobby somehow, no…?! Having said that, I’m sorry for your model, Thad…

It died a happy death. The only thing missing was the flames and smoke.

Thad

That asymmetrical thrust will get you if you aren’t careful [:p] Plus you have to add the fact that it’s a tail-dragger. As they say though, any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

You seem to be taking it well, I assume it may not have been one of your better builds? Hang in there.

it went to a good cause i suppose

How can I get upset at my son he just wants to do the same thing dads doing. I will get him back when he gets older, Maybe I will walk around wihout a shirt when his girlfriends come to visit

Thad

there must have been a crosswind. or icing on the wings. gotta watch that stuff.

I like your attitude [}:)].

Yup, just lounge around in your underwear, scratchin and passin gas, that’d should be a good payback.

Hey Thad, you gotta watch that whole revenge thing, they will put you in a home when your old if you embaress em too much LOL.
