My Boys First Wingover

Ive attached some pics of my lads first wingover. he is actually 28, but I call him my boy still as he has a severe intellectual dissability from a massive brain injury at birth that didnt need to be. He has an IQ of only 60 so will never live fully independantly, but has done and continues to do amazing things with his life and the rubbish cards he was dealt.! when Im in the city now and then we go fly CL half-A planes together and drive our RC Cox powered air cars with streamers on them so we can have air car combats. Or when he comes up where I am we do the same but also go out fishing in the boat. Yay.

Recently whilst out flying I said to him, you are going great at just flying nice and level and keeping it level, try doing some ups and downs as well and then maybe you can build up your skills to do a wingover one day. Two flights latter without telling me or asking how to do a wingover, he had a go! the pictures tell the story. the apple doesnt fall far from the tree. No idea how to do it, but just went for it and just like his old man, stacked it.

at least he gave it a go. Bit of super glue and the plane will be good as new for the next adventure.
