Hi i'm Mike and am thirteen years old.My dad "LameBird"has been flying
off and on for a long time and now i'm getting into it. I've been flying
this trainer for about one and a half gallons and decided to step up to helis
The weekend before last I had my first hover.It was like trying to balance
a BB on a needle.My knees were shakeing and I could not get it together.
Finaly I took a deep breath and gave it power and it was moving around a
little bit so I set it down.Then my dad, "who has been talking me through
it"flew it back in front of me and I hoverd some more.

My dad is haveing a heli flie in in Blythe Ga and I cannot wait...Hope you can make it!

He did introduce himself! Way to go Mike!!
He done good the first time, no buddy cord, just the 'old man' talking from the safest place....behind him!!

Mike has a hawk sport that I attempted to setup, it flies well, but could be better.
Kids got reflexes!

Good job Mike, Stay with it and you'll be really having some fun in a short time. You young kids really do learn quicker than us OLD guys. ;)
