What does "old enough" have to do with anything? I dont' know how old Chuck is, but I do know he knows quite a bit about RC airplanes. Does that mean he's old? Not necessarily. This is the problem with some "old timers." Some of them think that the young crowd is reckless, doesn't know what they are talking about, and have no working knowledge of airplanes, or the hobby. Some people reak of this attitude. We have several older guys at our field, and they are all awesome. None of them act that way. I dont' know why some people feel as though they have to act that way. Sometimes, then inadvertent things that come out of ones mouth is the true insight into what's going on inside of their head.
No, I am not old. No, I am not young. I guess that disqualifies me from helping any others on the forum (in some eyes).
Sorry to get off course, and I'm sure I'll be scolded for it, but I had to say it.
