Very interesting thread here! A mere 56yrs old. First plane when I was 12 was Cox pt19. After wrapping the lines several times around the mailbox post I built the Lil' Satan. Great plane. I then took several years off and built my first RC plane in 2006, Sig Lt40 (my Significant Other). Since then I have acquired over 50 planes of all sizes. I really wish that I would have stayed with it back in the early years. I love building planes so much I just got a Full Scale Sopwith Pup completed for my Wife to fly.
