  • Lol trimming it out well does not mean he is flying it. All he is doing is adding slight movements of the aileron and elevator, but the trim will correct it.

  • your right but your missing the point of this video.

  • lol heas not flying bolth seats get the same controls so the kid thinks heas flying but heas not and its not an old plane its the way they made the yoke

  • @harold505 actually he was flying the airplane and yes it was an old cessna.

    I think it was a 67 or 69 Cessna.

    Cessna's are naturally stable airplanes thats why I chose it to take him on it; that and trimming it out well also helps ;)

  • wow thats an old cessna 172

  • You are flying a Cessna 172 better than I did at your age but unfortnately because of regulations you have to wait 11 more years to get the private pilot certificate.

  • Nice dude!

  • looks like a 1960's cessna 150 commuter.  C-150A

  • @Northern206 HAHAHA I know eh!

  • It looks like the young man was doing a great job. Once his feet can reach the rudder pedals, and he'll be doing even better! It's awesome seeing a new generation get interested in GA.

  • I think somebody's hooked!!!

  • @granaleo1 thats actually pretty cool, i would be worried in leaving the flight controls in the hand of a 6 yr old. good job

  • OK, I started search "cessna" in youtube a few minutes ago. First It shows some very old man felling like child, then it appears kids felling like very old man. HAHAHA.

    First boy was 14 years old boy, then 12, 10 and finally 6?? hahaha LOL

  • @harold505 Well, your kindof wrong. The yoke can tell ALOT about the plane.
