    She did very well, and most then others I've seen her age that call themselves pilots.
    That's what the hobby is, having fun spending time with the people that you love being around having a blast together.
    Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

    This is a good clip on why Safe mode builds confidence. Love it.
    All the folks who advocate "fly or die" and never us Safe mode just might have a relation with an RC retailer.... or own a hobby shop and love seeing novice pilots spend that money.
    Kudos to teaching them young.

    I only started later in life it always seemed such a hard thing to get into. Go to a model shop lay down a grand on parts you didn't understand have and expert set it up and then get flying lessons. It's much easier now would love to have grown up around sab raws, lol.

      I started flying younger than my daughter. I was flying a GMP cricket and my grandpa would make my blades and parts when I crashed. No gyro, no computer radios. AM four channel and bouncing it all around the road till 8 figured it out. Times have definitely changed.

    It's not her fault. Everyone who owns one of those ridiculously overpriced helicopters has crashed one, most likely because the helicopter malfunctions and abruptly crashes.
    Ask the RC Sailors... That brand is unreliable, and they should recall the aircraft...

    Then I went over to the real model.
    But one day at the field, one of swash servo channel went dead.
    Tried my best to keep it in the air and came down in some thick grass.
    Never flew again...

      She is learning pretty quickly and doing great. GPS course helps a lot so that same day I film this video. We had a swap shop and a gentleman head to blade 200 for extremely cheap and she wanted them. She actually found them all on her own and showed me so I bought them for her and that will be her next step especially because we can buddy box.

    Don't worry about the number of times you'll crash. Focus on all your successful flights and build upon those. How many times did you skin your knee while you were growing up? How many times did you fall while learning to ride your bike. Crashing is kind of like that. You'll soon be an awesome Heli Pilot. You already have an awesome instructor. :-) :-) :-)

      Thank you I appreciate that, I told her don’t worry about crashing it’s just parts. This helicopter is extremely cheap to repair, so I am not worried about her destroying it. We can always rebuild. It’s part of the hobby, and every single person crashes at some point in time, especially when learning. 10 minutes after filming this video, she watched me crash my Oxy 5 so it made her feel a whole lot better lol.
