Perfect CL evening
I took the BRM out for a spin with a cut down 5.5x3. It flew beautifully tonight I was doing loops, going inverted and keeping it in the air for once, ran through 3 tanks without issue. Hooray!
My 6yr old son said he wanted to fly the Wizard so I decided to string it up and we flew a tank together. On the second tank I decided to let go of his arm and voila! He flew! Round and round we went with my hands on his shoulders. It was magic for me. We were both just turning circles and he said "Dad I am getting dizzy" I told him I would make sure he didn't fall down. He said "OK dad" and we flew out the rest of the tank. We did a big high 5 when she touched down. He was jumping up and down and grinning ear to ear. A lot more fun than any stupid video game.
I just had to share, wish I had it on video, but it was spontaneous and not planned. I will remember it though and I hope I hooked him for life.

Thanks guys,
He already hit me up for another go this morning!
I managed to find him an original Li'l Wizard kit and will be putting that under the tree for him this Christmas.

The way I see it , you are born twice. Once from the womb and then again as you discover the joys of modeling. Maybe Ron's young man has been reborn? Time will tell.
