Status: offline 		60 years old - makes me the grandpa of the group. GULP !!! First time modeling - first time flying - drooling on my shoes looking at the Aerohawk in the window of our local hobby store - finally got up the courage and bought it. First time hearing that whop whop whop hovering sound - nearly pee'd my pants with excitement!

Status: offline 		36 this year second generation Modeller flown bits of everytying and made bits out of everthing,I enjoy all forms of scratch building be it scale gliders,helicopter bodies or a peanut scale free flighter, I'm an addict that is for sure.
I am a chef in a busy torist hotel in the Adelaide hills and my other passion apart from my lovely wife and three great kids is my 1968 MG midget that I drive to work most days and love belting home late at night with the top down gazing to the heavens,
AAAAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh,zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,
interesting thread this one, gives me a new out look, I have for a long time felt that modellers were a dying breed and the younger generation were drifting off to greener pastures and missing out on the thrill of that first flight of a new model or that feeling you get when you finally master a new manouvre,
I'll stop dribbling nowand go play with my toys,
Buy for now

Status: offline 		Hello, I am 37 years old and have a 15 year old son. I fly mainly 40% aircraft for the last 4 years . I am now getting into heli's pretty heavy. My son and I both have VelociRaptor 50 V2's. I have flown just about everything R/C except jets. I even R/C skydive! Keeping alot of assorted things on the shelf keep the hobby interesting. The only problem now is my son is getting better faster than I am!

Status: offline 		Hey everyone!
I'm 46 and new to the R/C helicopter circuit.I have been flying R/C aircraft for 6 years and loved every minute of it.I have always been intrigued with helicopters..and I now have an Aerohawk and flying outside circuits.(carefully).
I also have built a 737 cockpit simulator for my craving of flight during the winter months.
I work at an airport part-time and was taking lessons for awhile...but chose to invest in my cockpit first.My main full-time job is with Amtrak.
I also have 1 parachute jump under my belt(free fall tandem)...what a blast!!that was!

If it flies I gotta try it...

Status: offline 		I am 45, but young 18 at heart with a lot of interesting model stories to tell. Start flying fix wing 32 years ago, on and off until I earned my first pay cheque. Tried out heli in 1979 with no gyro, no heli/computer radio, no special heli engine, fix pitch (adjust pitch by twisting the nylon bar that hold the main rotor), no servo reversing switches on transmitter ( needed to re solder wires inside the servos) and no spare parts - airborned once and only once for a tank of gas and in storage for the rest of its life until damaged by the rats!

Actively involved in clubs, fly fix wings 5 out of the 7 days a week - at least ( 5 flights per day).

Bought an Aerohwak and I like it -- very much. I don't have to spend months on building, don't have to due with messy gas & oil, very simple to setup, compare to the old one, don't have to drive far - don't even have to drive, just fly in my garage!
