This is the first time I had taken off and landed solo using my great planes PT-60 with OS max 0.61 engine. My 8yr old son made the video.

  • Nice job! Love the commentary by your son and his reaction while in flight! I have a 7 year old son and we are just starting. Would be interesting to see how you have progressed in 2010!

  • Well, I got pretty good at flying this plane but then managed to land it in the top of the tallest tree in the video. It appears that it is hard to judge the hieght of trees based on the size of the plane...ha... A storm knocked it down from the tree a week later but It is no longer with us now as it was destroyed. I flew my other trainer and did a nose dive into a dirt pile. Another one bites the dust! Since .. I have built another but I don't have the heart to fly it. Plane for sale now...lol

  • a bit hairy at the start mate but you did very well!!! got the heart going i bet lol. at least it was only a prop that broke, easy fix . that's the hardest thing i reckon....maiden flight and trimming the damn plane lol, after that no worries!!! good flight buddy.

  • @bruiserhzj Thanks, I try but boy if the trim is way off at take off you have alot of trouble.

  • very good vid, nice maiden flight well done 5 ***

  • @dotster35 Thanks

see all

  • Landing down wind, first time, to come off with just a broken prop, well done hombre!

  • PLAY THE VIDEO BUT KEEP TAPPING THE 9 BUTTON ON YOUR KEYBOARD LMAO!!!

  • That's neat. In years to come, you'll value this video so much. My boys are now men and I would give anything to have a special moment like this on video when I was learning to fly back in late 70s.

  • Well Done !

  • you never sick your hand over the prop

    he just scares me

  • you never sick your hand over the prop

  • oh my god he doesn't know what is doing aSHAUSHASUAHSH

  • At the one minute mark your son is standing in front of a wide open throttle saw blade. Very unsafe. If that prop comes off or if the plane jumps the holding bars he could be seriously hurt. Never run a rc engine with someone standing in front or to the side of the prop. ALWAYS BEHIND!!! Very dangerous.

  • Great job dude !! what a feeling huh,the first solo is one you will never forget...

  • great video...keep flying and bring your son for more great play by play commentary.
