Yes, this hobby is one that will grab you and hold you like CA glue and that is a good thing because there is so much you can learn and along the way - you can have so much fun

My dad and I built a plane when I was around ten years old and we never flew it. It was a Cessna Skylane or Skyhawk and I thought it was the coolest thing. I remember we had to use dope for the covering. It was a lot of work.

Over the years life came along and I traded the plane off to someone and that was the end of it. I never flew. Around six years ago my dad passed away and I had the thoughts that I wanted to finish what my dad and I had started close to fifty years ago by learning to fly an RC plane.

Wow....what a journey it has been. Learning was pretty tough for me, but I hung in there. I started at it about three years ago and I have had so much fun and accomplishments. I have several nitro planes and three gassers now and one is a 50cc gasser which is a big plane for me.

I so enjoy flying that 50cc plane that I go home with a big grin on my face after flying it. I have been increasing my flying skills each time out as I always set goals and attempt to accomplish them. I can state that if you challenge yourself you will never get bored in this hobby.

Congratulations on your solo. Great job and happy flying!
