RE: How old is everyone??
I'm 22 been flying since I was 9. I started right at the basics with a good old hald launched chuck glider, then moved onto powered free flight and Control Line. after a few years I got my first radio model, a Great Planes PT40 (still had it untill two months ago when I sold it!)
Since then I have progresed on to pattern flying, IMAC, 3D of course... and a bit of helicopter flying.
At present I have in my hanger: ZN Synergy 90 3D, Madness 2, Morris Hobbies Su-Do-Khoi, 2m Funtana S (under construction), 2m PBG Extra 260, Hirobo Shuttle ZX Helicopter.
