Hi Benny,
Yes the concept of death is very hard for a child to understand. My 6 year old daughter is told, no more mummy, daddy or playing no more anything & you will never be able to see us again, it sort of works but I know they don't understand that well. Wildlife programes can show animal death & that does tend to work quite well as a lion rips into another animal.
Benny you have a great kid there, he looks so tiny when you see him on the youtube videos, my mrs wants to take him home(probably so he can show her how to fly her CX2
) I'm not going to wish his childhood away, but imagine how he will be if he sticks with the hobby at age 14 upwards....Szabo's will be novices compared to Justin & I'm sure the whole heli community is watching him closely.
Regards to your family, you have done something right my friend & it's so good to see.
Take care
Regards
Ross
