Grana:
Perhaps, the little golfer boy's father/grand father that makes the little boy practice hard has a different agenda. Golf is a lucrative sport if you can get to be likes of Tiger Woods.
I don't think you can make a living flying RC helis. For this reason, it will always be a hobby to us. For those who have 3-4 year old boys will know how stuborn these kids are. You simply can not make them do anything they do not like. Some may think Justin gets his skills from repetitive practice. This is simply not true. He is a normal 4 year old boy who does exactly the same things the other 4 year old boys do.
He goes to Pre-Kindergarten from 9 to 3. He plays outside for 1 hour until "Little Bear" starts at 5:30pm. He may get 10-30min per day on Real Flight G3 depending on his mood.
If I can make it to the field during the weekdays (1-3 times), he may do 2-6 flights. We do most flying during the weekend when we spend 3-5 hours each day on Saturday and Sunday.
I have spent 30-50 hours over 1 month period on G3 trying to learn piroutting funnel. After watching me suffer, he asked "Can I try?". After 2-3 attemps, he has managed to do it.
I do wish he would practice just a little bit more. But knowing that this is a hobby and only a hobby, I can't make him do it. As long as he enjoys it, I will let him.
As for the crash damages, we do pay for all the helis and heli parts. Fortunately for us, he has had only 4 major crashes for the entire 1 year period that he has been envolved in helis.
At times, I do wish that my hobby was Golf rather than RC. In that case, I would be finding out if he has genius talent in golf. However, since Golf is not mandatory in educating Justin, I would not give him golf lessons. If I did, that would be purely from a possible financial gain and that would be wrong.
