I have my uncle to thank because he's the one who had me over every weekend during the summer to fly planes and he took me to shows, (I will never forget the 50% sukoui at one of the shows)

Status: offline 		I started when I was about 10-11, I really don't remember. It was in the 5th grade regardless. My first plane was a Great Planes spirit that a B-52 pilot taught me to fly with...well, actually he had so much fun that I only flew it for about 5 minutes. It was great none-the-less to see something that I had built fly though.

Status: offline 		I built my first model when I was 7 or 8 (1970 or 1971) with the help of my dad, a guillows Piper cub. Then after a few years of building rubber free flights, I got into control line combat. Then high school I was to busy playing sports & chaseing girls I sort of left the hobby. In 1990 I got back into the hobby flying & crashing a bunch of airplanes, Don't try to teach yourself to fly R/C!!!!!!!!!!!. It gets expensive. I then hooked up with a great bunch of guys at the Po' Boys Proptwister R/C Club in Monroe NC. With the help of these great guys I finally learned how not to crash so often. I flew for about 5 years with them. Got out of the hobby again to Drag Race motorcycles with my brother. I'm now 43 and back into the hobby again with my sons helping me build some small electric planes to fly in our front yard. 700' X 200' all centipede grass.
I love to scratch build. I Have always been a better builder than flyer. I hope to keep sons who are 7,5 & 3
out of future trouble by introducing them to this excellent hobby.

Status: offline 		I started rockets at like 8 or so early on. Later, moved on to a .40 Xtra Easy trainer, but didn't have the time or money to drive to the field, so I got a Soarstar and I fly it in my backyard ( We have a hundred acres ). Now, I'm currently building a runway to fly that .40 trainer on back there. Yep, 18 and loving the hobby all the way.

Status: offline 		i just started a year ago, when i was 13. i had always wanted to fly rc, but i didn't have the money. i worked my paper route for a few years to buy my first plane, a GWS DHC2 Beaver. it flew nice at first till i'd crashed it a few times. i kept trying to buy repair parts and stuff to make it fly better, but from all the glue it is really heavy and doesn't fly to nicely any more. right now i'm still scroungin up my money to keep the hobby alive
