congrats Ben.
still waitin on an update on the franken zooter too BTW.:wink2:BeamerBob - 21-9-2010 at 04:23 PM
Nice job. Get em hooked early with some single line stuff. They can steer one by 5 or 6 depending on the child.bigben91682 - 21-9-2010 at 04:37 PM
I have to wait 5 or 6 years?!? :o oh well, safety first I suppose.
@WG - I haven't been out for ages, and the next few weekends are booked with work ($$$ is good with tiny human incoming) but I'll be a WW for sure for
a proper test. Hopefully I can get out before then but things have been crazy around here!Todd - 21-9-2010 at 05:29 PM

Congrats man the first one is always a great moment (not that the next ones aren't either) Your new flying buddy will be good and ready in another 5
or 6 years as already stated. By then you might even be able to get a remote controlled kite to help him out J.K. :wink2: either way happy for ya and
keep us in the loop

Congrats Ben!
My son just started this year with a 4 line he is 7, could have probably started him sooner, I was afraid my self to let him start too early! So he
flew his single line and tried to mimic me doing stunts with his kite! Best wishes to you , the wife and the little package on the way!Jovver - 27-9-2010 at 10:43 AM

And it's all you fault. SO give her a hug and a nice back rub.
Oh and a gentle rubbing on the arches of her feet should make her back feel better. Pressure points are weird.pokitetrash - 3-11-2010 at 04:30 PM
