This is a double standard. If the "little fingers" started playing with the engine controls, landing gear, etc. they would be stopped pronto. IMO, the foundation is populated with ex-pilots who conveniently forget that without radio, radar, loran, etc. they would be essentially flying a bus while deaf, blind, and lost.

Lotsa grabby little fingers yanking at cables, unscrewing what will come loose, jamming tuners up against the stops, busting off the toggle switches, etc. I commented about this to one Little Darling hard at work on the modulator and got a good dose of "stink-eye" from Daddy, who was busy playing w/stuff on the other side of the cabin...................git out the pepper spray................
