RE: getting back into the hobby
I would use a bit of caution here. It probably wouldn't take long for you to get your "thumbs" back but it would be a shame if you wrecked a plane because your thumbs are too rusty. I would find out where the nearest club is and see if someone the club has a trainer that you can try on the buddy box. It would only take a few flights to see just how "good" or how "bad" you need buddy box time. It might only take few flights to get you back up to speed but best to do it safely. Its also much less risky on the plane. [8D]
