Hi Aussie
I'm 10+ hrs post PPL myself and have taken all the family now except the kids. My 6yr old is dying to go up but I'm waiting for a nice calm day where I can take my wife too, just in case he freaks out. I don't have any quams (sp?) about taking them as I take as much care as possible even when I'm solo and I feel the car is just as dangerous and I pack 'em in my jallopee (sp, again?) every day.
However, I left out the steep turns over home when I took my mum up the other day and made an early go around when my first approach was a bit high - I decided the landing had to be perfect for the old girl.
What I didn't tell her was that the chap who took the plane after us had to force land and stuff it in a hedge (he was fine). Some things are best left alone.
