Proud Dad Moment

Postby Dre'man » Sun Nov 19, 2006 7:47 pm

Although I only have 8hrs on trikes now my interest seems to be rubbing off on my 3 yr old son (not sure if thats good or bad).
This evening he came to me and asked me to put the microlight on flight sim. So he could practice so when he gets big like me he can fly.

Now where did I put that lotto ticket :?:
Flying below power lines on DS650X
And above in nothing

I only have about 85 hrs of flying experience, including my training. I have not taken the kids up (3 years and 6), I feel that I want to be more experienced (say 150-200 hrs) before I do that :? Am I being rediculous or just over cautious :?

I personally prefer not to take children under 10 years of age. Very very close family where I have a good relationship with the kids I will consider 6 years and older.

For their and my own sanity...
