28, Started flying when I was 12, started meeting girls and was totally out of the hobby by 18 (chicks dont really dig guys who rarely come out of the basement; and when they do have CA stains all over their hands and shorts). Got back in at 21 and since my workshop was still at my parents, I had to leave my stuff there; and thats where she ran over my pattern ship with her lexus; stopped again so I got back out and at 26 got back in and still like the pattern stuff, but this 3D stuff rules!

I think there is a pattern of people who are really into RC in their early teens and then after college get back into it.
