Status: offline 		I started when I was 7 years old with rubber free flight. That was 1937. Progressed to engine powered free flight at age 11 (1941). Started R/C in 1957. Have been a consecutive member of both AMA and STARS model airplane club for 62 years. Now at age 73 I am still very active in R/C scale.

So to all the youngsters that read this - stay in the hobby. You won't be sorry when you reach my age. Building and flying models keeps me young.

Status: offline 		OK how is this not the youngest but the oldest turbine pilot. Guy in Florida named Don Huffman 78 years old and still flying the hell out of turbines. I hope at his age I am fortunate enough to be able to see what the plane looks like.

Status: offline 		A guy in our club is teaching his seven year old son how to fly... and the kid is not bad at it, not bad at all! He's a better pilot than some of the "older" people, that's for sure...

I'm pretty sure he will be competing in fun flies or something next year.

I started out at 12, am 27 now...

Status: offline 		I started when i was 12, I am now 30. My son is 2, and loves to watch, and "help" he also "flys/crash" the G2 sim, on the computer. He has a year or two to get the hang of it, before he will get his own plane.

Status: offline 		I am 67 years old and just getting started in R/C flying with a Slow Stick an NSP EZ 400G and a Wingo. Biggest problem is that this time of year in N. Illinois it is to windy most of the time for these slow flyers.
