RE: Interested in finding out average age and demographics of current RCU Users
I'm 51 and I'm addicted to Helis. I've been in the hobby for about 4 years. My grandson got me interested in helicopters because he was into them. We started out with a $30 POS from Best Buy that him and I played with together till it bit the dust. He lost interest but I got addicted. Since then I've owned about 15 or 16 helis (4 of which were POS). I've cleaned out the hanger so now I'm down to a Rush 750, Trex 550 V2, and a Blade 130x. I've dabbled with planks a little bit, in fact I just picked up an Eagle 580 nitro. I drive a Chevy Silverado Z71 that I bought new in 2001 and I'm in the process of gearing it up for "flight", which so far is a nice shell and customized bed designed for carrying my models to the field in style. I'm a 4th gen carpenter with about 52 years experience.
And obviously I tend to talk too much.
