I'll be 80 next June. Started modeling in 1934 (gummi bands) and got my first engine in 1936. Been through the whole route and enjoyed every minute of it. Tried the early RC but didn't get serious until proportional came out. Serious RC with an EK Logictrol Little Red Brick. I still get some nice compliments on my building skills but I'm only an intermediate pilot. So far only two ARF's. After 70+ years at it I'm still learning.
