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

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

Nope GR8-Dad, i feel the same about taking my Daughter up. Although i would trust her with Demon or most of the RIETFONTEIN pilots for example.

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...
