I had problems attaching the two tubes together so I ended up hand stitching a panel in between. This worked out, because it fit him better and now fits Sam.
To change it up a little I made wings for it too. They are completely removable in case he does not want to have them on. Which is a good thing because he does not like them on much, I think that I made them a little to small (oops!)
He had so much fun blasting around the park.
So it turns out to be a great gift for the active kid in your life. It would make a great present under the tree don't you think?
