How it all started for Alan Szabo Jr.

[wesajarjar]

I wish my dad was into rc XD I would love to do this as a hobby with him

[mnragnar]

How can there be a "dislike"? I can't believe there's a dry eye out there that's watched this video, especially among all the "Dads" out there.

This is much more than a story about the evolution of a young pilot. This is a wonderful story of a father and son and their shared passion. Many thanks to Alan Sr. for this wonderful gift (your video and your son) and many, many thanks to Alan Jr. for sharing this warm and personal story with the rest of us.

I need to go now and dry my eyes.

[kachur777]

look at that tx at 5:30 monster

[GLASSHOBBY]

Very inspiring video. It shows how we can all achieve a lot when we work at it and don't give up. I am quite sure Alan Jr. didn't just learn to fly like that overnight.

[foodman3920031]

What a great video Alan. Reminds me of my Dad and I in 1976 when I was first starting out. Wish I had video of it.

[themagichomie]

inspiring video

[dogdirt]

The first year I watched this kid was at IRCHA and he was flying a TT rapter. I had one so I wanted to see what it would do. How impressed I was to see him put it through it's paces. Later that Saturday I watched and talked to him at his canopy as he set the chopper up for night flying. Here I was a nobody spectator, and he had time to answer my questions. What a class act! You are a big reason I have bought Align T-rex 250, 450, 600, 700

[numex106]

[MattyZed]

You must be a really proud father... some really magical moments there!

[pofrani]

[brunoadalvendas]

[crmodels]

Wow amazing video senior! I had the privilege of meeting your son a few years back at our Helicopter Jamboree in Macedon, NY when he came as our special guest. Loved the video. I have been flying since I was six years old, I just turned 31 a month ago and I'm Never gonna stop!

[45frogger1]

very inspireing video..keep it up buddy

[3dsmackdown]

Nice Movie, gives one a different outlook on Alan, humble upbringing. Cool.

[PHeMoX]

That's awesome. I especially liked the part with the great amount of inverted hovering helicopters flying all together.

[LB1331]

Awesome montage!! Thank you Sr, and Danny!!

[TheThunder512]

[crashnaz75]

Awesome Video, Thanx for sharing. Question for you which do you prefer Nitro or Electric??

[dbutzer]

Awe, you were such a cute kid Alan, what happened? ;) Great video, thanks Alan Szabo Sr. (not a good acronym btw, lol) for making this. Was always wanting to see a video of your flying where it didn't seem so natural, but apparently that didn't last long either. You're a big contribution to the hobby, thanks.

[RCHELISPOT]

Very nice !

[mccorrea27]

Just Amazing! Congratulations!

[guiassisbrasil]

Amazing!!!!!!!!

[25reman52]

Not sure why, but your flying not only amazes me, but I find I usually have an emotional response while watching these vids! Almost spiritual!! Thanks!

[3DWHIZZ]

@25reman52.... You too eh?

[fierceflyer5]

Great video. Can't wait to see Danny's video as well.

[tommyutube1]

[8sec240]

Awesome video!! So cool to see the progression. 

[Cralis1]

Nice to have a dad supporting you 100% of the way... Getting the heli was cool. 'Thanks, dad'. Very good.

[yupper3d]

So I've been following your YouTube channel for a while now, admiring Alan's flying skills and it's awesome to see this. Often times, I've wondered how someone gets from being a novice to a pro flying helis, well here is how. Thanks so much for sharing, and keep up the amazing work!

[Florivaldojr]

show!

[littlehammer05]

It's nice to see we all start off somewhere small! =)

[gbizier]

Sweet vid. It gives us mere mortals a shimmer of hope.

[taskulamppufriikki]

Awesome video! Thank you.

[Rotorandi]

in my video about my flying and life history you had to put a sad song in it lol

[xc685]

I had one of those blue helicopters on a stick too! In fact it may be the same one!

[craigjelliott]

@xc685 Hi mate, I'm after one of those 'helicopter on a stick' toys for my son. Do you remember what they're called?

[96sunvalley]

Something to be proud of. Thumbs up.

[Jodysinoz]

Awesome video I was hoping to see more of his time with TT as he was flying TT when I entered the sprot and he was an inspiration to me in that time.

Nonetheless fantastic VIdeo thankyou for releasing this special footage !

[mikeesidney]

Congratulations, yr dad is the best as u already know !!! Hugs Duddy

[Nykkytta]

This is by far the best RC Heli video at U-tube. Thank you .

[luckyrotor]

What a pleasure to see my RC Heli idol the first time on the sticks (8:11)

Thanks to daddy Alan Sr for the effort to make this video also for all of us RC Heli pilots. (it remindes me to record my son often to be able to make a video in future days...)

My best wishes to the whole Szabo family

from luckyrotor @Switzerland

[sfyris]

Thanks Alan. Your father will be proud for you. But I think we must give congratulations to your dad who cares to transfer and then support the model aircraft fire burning inside you. Keep going Alan.
