My only advice is to go for it. Ok, so he *can't* solo for a few years. If you
wait until he can, there's a good chance that he'll be more interested in abusing
your ears with his idea of how to play a guitar or mooning over some girl. Let
him do what he can, and, if he loses interest, he'll have more to come back to
later than a vague memory of how Papa took him flying as a kid.

On my last flight I let my little four-year-old think she was flying
the airplane. "Left turn! Yay!" "Right Turn! Yay!"

People tell me that she'll never let go of that interest, having
developed it at such an early age. If so, then I should not have a
problem keeping her interested in flying, because she'll do it all on
her own.
