It started for me when I was very young!The airport was very close to my house and I use to spend every hour I could there. I would pack a lunch and watch the planes take off and land. I would get into trouble because I would lay on the end of the runway and watch the planes go over me. The high lites of my time there was when I would get to ride in a plane! If my folks needed to find me they would look there first. I got into RC airplanes back into the early 80's when my then wife bought me a PT-40 kit but then always wanted to break it and hated it! Then she left me and the kids when my youngest was not even five weeks old and had to put RC on the back burner and raise my four daughters, Then when they got older I got back into the hobby and have loved every second I have building, flying and my new found friends! There in my opinion no better hobby in the world and I am so happy to be part of it! My grandson was born into the hobby he had a plane before he was born and I am now working with him, I do not think there is a better family hobby! My grandaughter is to young right now to fly but if she wants to learn I will love teaching her! This hobby is my theraphy! Airplanes was my first love and you know the old saying we never forget our first love!
