My Son's very first model lighting success!

[Chrisisall]

My Son took a Johnny Lightning J2, unscrewed it, removed the landing legs & put duct tape in the openings so it's in flight mode, then stuck a tiny key light into it, and get this: pressing the power core turns it on & off!!! All I did was consult. I can't believe it!

Well done! Keep encouraging him!

That is wonderful and very clever.

Looks sweet. Now he needs a PL J2 to build along with yours.

Amazing - that's a boy I'll be proud of! And it's so nice that he shares your passion. My son isn't as patient as I am in building models (you need lots of it in this hobby - but he's a great fan of mine. Even at a very young age he knew the difference between models and toys and respects the hobby. Unlike my wife who sees just the mess

Very cool!

Having a boy who shares your passion is awesome! Tell him he did great!
