RE: How old is everyone??
I am 45, but young 18 at heart with a lot of interesting model stories to tell. Start flying fix wing 32 years ago, on and off until I earned my first pay cheque. Tried out heli in 1979 with no gyro, no heli/computer radio, no special heli engine, fix pitch (adjust pitch by twisting the nylon bar that hold the main rotor), no servo reversing switches on transmitter ( needed to re solder wires inside the servos) and no spare parts - airborned once and only once for a tank of gas and in storage for the rest of its life until damaged by the rats!
Actively involved in clubs, fly fix wings 5 out of the 7 days a week - at least ( 5 flights per day).
Bought an Aerohwak and I like it -- very much. I don't have to spend months on building, don't have to due with messy gas & oil, very simple to setup, compare to the old one, don't have to drive far - don't even have to drive, just fly in my garage!
