This is a link to Robin Petgrave's website. He does a lot of work with young men and women with an interest in aviation and by all reports, has been very successful.

IMHO a 14 year old may have the motor skills to fly but it would be the rare 14 year old with the decision making skills I believe are necessary for any pilot. Robin has done a lot of good things and I understand that setting records can generate considerable revenue; but this sort of meaningless record setting does not advance or contribute to rotarty wing aviation and may in fact give this young 14 year old a warped sense of industry values.
