Good idea Karlton. Except for the mandatory buddy box part. I know several 6-8 year olds how can fly without need of direct thumb supervision. Taking the age group up to 12 only increases the number that can fly (and fly well) Take the recent Poway event for example. I think there were 6 children all under 13 who doing quite well on their own taking laps in a contest pressure environment. And for naysayers out there. The two older kids did NOT win.
