Hi Luker. I'm a year older than you and just quit flying at a club where people were "crashing all over". In fact I quit because one of them hit me. Get with a competent instructor pilot. If after a serious go at it you and he are in agreement that you are safe I say "good for you" If it does'nt work out for you maybe it's time for "Grandpa to take the keys away from Grandpa". Good luck to you my friend.
