Yes, I started way too late. It's much harder to learn when you get old.

(but I did learn math)

I'm 63. Been flying for a little over 35 yrs. But I have decided to stop counting.

Now I am trying to get my 6 yrs old daughter interesting in flying. So far she only want to play with Barbies dolls and Hello Kitty.

Go Flying

I'm 22 been flying since I was 9. I started right at the basics with a good old hald launched chuck glider, then moved onto powered free flight and Control Line. after a few years I got my first radio model, a Great Planes PT40 (still had it untill two months ago when I sold it!)
Since then I have progresed on to pattern flying, IMAC, 3D of course... and a bit of helicopter flying.

At present I have in my hanger: ZN Synergy 90 3D, Madness 2, Morris Hobbies Su-Do-Khoi, 2m Funtana S (under construction), 2m PBG Extra 260, Hirobo Shuttle ZX Helicopter.

Hi everybody !!!
I am 41, started at 6, with my older brother ( who was always my instructor ), I remember the thin-plywood profile U/C planes with .049`s modified for external tanks, and later started R/C with a MEN Trainer. Have flown almost everything but turbines. Like teaching and helping others to get started in the hobby, any questions !!!

O.K. Children ! I guess I'm the oldest up to now. Gonna be 73 yrs. young on the 15th.the Been in the "Hobby" since about 14 yrs. old. I guess I've tried most of it. Free Flight and Control Line in the early forties and fifties. Single Channel RC ( With Escapements) in the Sixties. Went thru the 1-10 Channel stuff where most of your time was spent "Tuning" the receiver to the multible relays. If you got one flight in during the day, it was a good day ! I know you "Senior " can relate. Finally progressed to Proporional when I could afford it.
Currently flying strickly "Sport" with my UCD 60. I can't 3D for crap ! Not agile enough, but I love this plane ! Sorry for rambling on.....

47, been flying for about 8 years. Mostly giant scale and 3D, but dabbled last year in turbines, and now have two kits I am building for next season. Being semi-retired, I travel up and down the east coast during the summer in my RV attending as many events as the family will let me
