LOL 41 and I just started flying this year... and Yes I am on the younger side of the guys at my field... Great part is that most everyone loves to help and guide you... Don't be afraid of looking silly... Today with trainer cords and I used a Great Planes Sim on my computer to learn and get comfortable with the stick movements... After three days I was flying solo... It takes some a lot longer... Just take the time you need to get comfertable... It's a great place to just shoot the Bull with the guys... With the sim I found the fling part pretty easy... Just gland to have those guys there with their experience to teach me first about Safety... Second love listening to all the stories... It doesn't take long to learn to fly when things are going right... It's when somthing goes wrong whe things get interesting... The stories are great... I love them and you will too... Good luck...
