that's some pretty savage flying there... especially if he has only been flying since June.

Props!

Cool camcorder's shutter setting - or you have anti-gravity device + speakers for sound effects? :cool:

Really nice flying, but videos like that should be banned on this forum: it is too depressing what kids can pick up in such a short time. LOL (just kidding of course)

[redvtr1000]

How many times did he have to crash to get to that point???

Alot of sim time?

I have been flying about the same amount of time but no 3d for me. I can hover in all orientations (skids down of course) do some forward flight and circuits. I guess maybe because I have to work to pay for all the parts and it hurts that much more every time I smash it up. I also have less than 30 minutes of sim time and started with an axe cp which didn't help

Nice flying though.

[Wren1702]

He flew a lot of sim time! I kept telling him that the sim was different than flying the real thing and he proved me wrong! Here's a video shot 10 days into his flying a 50 size heli.

He started with a Co-Co lama, went to a Honey Bee II fixed pitch, flew a Revo CP a little then to the 50 size heli. I'll take a picture of the blades that he's used! About 6 crashes.

Meant to ask the same thing. It is really wonderful when kids are given such opportunity. BTW Great flying!

[g007monroe]

I can't express in words how impressed and jealous I am right now. LOL

[xodarap1]

That was awesome! Sweet flying!

[brovic777]

How long has he been flying planes before he picked up Heli's?

If not, his is for sure a prodigy kid flying like that in only a few months.

[heliboy88]

Ok, now i'm quitting the hobby, and i've to blame you and your son for this. :D
Really nice flying, i just started my first flyouts september, and i don't think i can do that next september :( :o

[Wren1702]

He flew a plank off and on for about a year before switching to helicopters. At the last fun fly event we attended he got to fly a 200 mph BobCat Jet! Lucky Kid!

[bcritch]

Does your kid play alot of video games? I only ask because I have noticed that kids who play alot of video games fly very well, and I suspect it has to do with hand-eye cordination. Nice flying though, I am now going to go suck my thumb and cry, as I look at all my broken blades and such, lol.

[hurleybt]

awesome flying! I wish i had more time to spend on the sim :)

[Wren1702]

Wesley's broken blade collection.

1 set from a bad auto, 3or 4 sets from dumb thumbs, 1 or 2 sets from tail failure.

Yes, he plays video games.

I think it's a combination of factors.
Video games, has a knack for it, loves flying!

[rsking45]

With in a few days I flew like that.The only difference that I can see is that I wasnt trying to do that and mine needed a serious rebuild :D Very nice flying

[Eeeeky]

Ill take the set of RT's on the far left:):D They dont look hurt! Nice flying, ill be watching for you at XFC:D

[Speed Stick 3D]

you going to XFC.. Ha lol JK what every nice flying tho

Thanks Speed stick 3D :D

[biker dude]

Props!

Awesome! Inspiring! Amazing!

[deity]

Awesome flying. You have inspired me to try harder and get on the sim more since I have been flying about 4 months longer and cant do half of what he can.

Keep it up!

[Wren1702]

Thanks for the comments, he's having a blast and getting better all the time. This year is going to be FUN! Already have scheduled about 15 events to travel to.

[JustinMoore12]

Its amazing how in tune kids are with these types of things. I wish i was young again
:(

[Wren1702]

Try again......

[Wren1702]

A video we shot today. This is with a Neu 1515/2.5D/F motor. Took a few days to get the HV-85 programming just like we want it, but it was worth it! Pardon the wind noise, it was 15 mph out of the south!

[Happy|Harry]

that's amazing he's progressed so quick! judt awesome! :cool:. i've been flying heli's since september 04 and it's taken me until quite recently to get to that level of flying, and i've broken lots more than 6 sets of blades :o

[ebuck]

That kid is an inspiration...and an obvious savant!

Nice job. And to think that I get all excited that I am getting to the point I can hover without panicking. I am amazed!!

[Wren1702]

Wow....awesome flying for sure!!! And that Heli....:cool: Very impressive video!!

[Wren1702]

Thought I would add a new video, Wesley is now flying for Gohbee Aviation. Here's a flight with his 8S, Neu powered (1910/1Y/H) Phazor 600.

See everyone at IRCHA!

[JustinMoore12]

Wow he has gotten alot more precise. Nice flying.

[l4m3r]

haxorz!
omg! i still can't do figure 8s.
i wish i wasnt poor and i could afford to get a nice TREX 500
trying to learn to fly on little honeybee's is not the way to go i think.

many props and cheers for the prodigy kid.

[brian94066]

For god sakes, tell him to cut that hair! :p
cut that hair...CUT THAT HAIR?

noooo, its magic, its the source of his powers, like Slash :D

maybe i should start growing my hair

i think i'm around his age, we'll see who progresses more

P.S. i lost :eek:

[Wren1702]

Hey, If any of you guys come to IRCHA, look us up. We'll be at the Gohbee Aviation tent and Wesley will be flying his Phazor during the noon Demos each day.
