as posted here a few months ago, i too came back after a 15 year layoff myself................maybe 15 years for us guys is some kind of menopause.

have been flying a GP Stik and after the second flight with this bird i had a flame out with about 25 feet of altitude directly over the field..........the reflexes came right back. rolled it hard right, downwind about 30 feet, rolled hard right again, and touched down with no issues. the guys in the pits thought i was gonna end up in the weeds when the engine flamed out, but were spellbound with the evasive manuevers i pulled off. of course the Big Stik is 1,000 sq in wing at 6.25 lbs. so it had plenty to do with it, but nevertheless it got the adrenaline pumping....................oh, the biggest improvement to RC that really brought me back was 2.4GHz systems..................nothing like it. no wait, no worry about someone shooting you down anymore, and believe me, the local (now closed) hobbyshop owner blew me out of the sky once, from his antics.

glad i came back and hope you are going to enjoy yourself as much as i have so far.
