Default RE: How did you learn to fly?

I don't think I have a very good understanding of Amish people. I thought they had no electric or cars and lived basically like people lived 150 years ago. But... I see them at Wal-mart all the time selling fruit out of a pick-up. Now they are flying RC planes?
they are allowed to ride in rubber wheeled vehicles, but cannot own any. they can use gas powered engines under a certain size (weird yes , do I understand no) any wheeled vehicle has to be steel wheeled. they are not allowed electric at all strange group of people. just cultural tho. when they work.. they dont say a word untill lunch time then they dont shut up for an hour then its back to work . total work day is 12 hrs. from what i have seen..
sorry to hijack the thread but its something interesting.
