Great video, Scott!
Brought back memories of when I used to take my kids up in my Yankee when they were little -- right down to the booster seat.
The eldest never wanted anything but straight and level.
Our son wanted to explore the air combat capabilities of the Yankee ... but turned green after the first whiff of an unusual attitude.
And the youngest would grab the yoke as soon as the wheels left the ground and announce, "I've got it. MY PLANE."
Now they're all grown up. The eldest has flown in Smokey with me and had a great time. My boy wants me to croak so that he'll inherit the plane. And the youngest -- the dare-devil -- refuses to even sit in something that I built. Go figure.
Great video. Keep several copies of that one and be sure to make more.

What fun
Scott - what a great thing you have the chance to take your son on a flight. I really enjoy how many young builders and RV pilots there are. Being able to fly with your son has to be great. My son is an AH-64 Apache Longbow pilot in the Army National Guard, but I still look forward to taking him for a flight. Im sure both of our grins will be as big as you and your sons!
Nice work,
Rockwood

Its what its all about
I think this kind of flying is why we all do it.
They grow up in a blink of an eye and time like that is worth gold.
Loved the video and your a lucky man Scott.

Enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks

Editing
Hey Rick,
Honestly I've been only using the GoPro for about 2 weeks.
My wife laughs at me because of my "obsessive" personality. I figure it allows you to learn a larger subject in greater detail in a shorter amount of time!  (thats my excuse) For 2 days it was one of the most frustrating experiences and very time-consuming,...then it started to "click in".
Vimeo.com has some amazing info. Basically low tech ways of making a more hi-fi video.
Vans aircraft experience for me: Gear-head = Building High performance aircraft, experimenter = trying new things with the aircraft, Pilot = Your quote, "Flying it like I stole it" and (My day job), Artsy/Fartsy guy = producing these videos, Family guy = sharing this experience with my children.
I'd say it's a pretty awesome hobby!
Thanks,
Scott
