RE: How old is everyone??
started learning to fly both fixed wing and helis about 13/14 yrs ago. but the extent of that venture was a single botched landing that took the gear off my trainer airplanes. then my dad had a boomstriike when he ran out of fuel trying to hover and chopped the throttle.
started flying sims last year sometime then went out to the field(with the same two craft, which got fixed by the way) i had a local club member get thetrainer airborn for a couple of flights. then he suggested that i try to solo. "you sure you havent done this b4?" I told Bob he was just a good teacher.
got a new heli and did pretty well setting it up myself since i couldnt find help. but not well enough since Ive crashed a bunch due to overheated engine. I wish sims could teach engine tuning. i fly better than i set up but im mad at helis so im not fixing it for a while.
anyways Im currently trying to teach myself to fly 3D planes with a U CAN DO .46.
OH YEAH[sm=idea.gif] I'm 26
