This will blow the average -
Am 57 and been flying RC off and on for 25+ years - started with U Control when I was a teenager in the '60s, first radio was a Kraft four channel in 1976, as I recall - cost me $250 bucks THEN (gotta be pushing $2000 in today's dollars...

)
Like Warbirds, scale, gliders and flying just for the hell of it...
RC has really improved - still love to build, but also enjoy the speed of ARF!!
Excited about returning to RC again after a long layoff..
