Thanks for the short story, I have a 10-year old. nephew that wants to fly and I will be mentoring him in that regard.

The first thing that I want to get him into is gliding, per FAR regs I believe a competent 12. yr old. can solo, correct me if I am wrong on that one.

Flying the 172SP's with the KLN-94 GPS is all I ever need, why do I need a large G1000 MFD/PFD to learn how to fly??

Gimmie a 152/172 thats very simple to learn from versus a glass panel thats sure to hold your eye more then it needs to be, which would be bad for VFR flight anyways.
