Hi Gphil,

I came back to the hobby after 30 years and I thought it would be easy to get back into. However, I found orientation was one of the more difficult things for me to learn again, especially when making distant turns. It took a while, but it came back. After that it was just a matter getting out, practising and enjoying each flight.

One of the rewarding things of the hobby to me is the difficulty in learning - once you become comfortable with flying again you move on to learning new building techniques (foam, balsa and ARF), programming new radios, learning the new pulpulsion systems (glow and now electric), adhesives etc. It keeps your mind active and creative.

I'm glad you came back to the hobby. Keep us updated on your progress.

Fly4Fun,
