Yep. I got the elevator skills down pat from playing "Pong". We've got a generation of Duke Nukem and Halo players coming up who have the fine motor skills to navagate in 3-D and keep 12 weapons switches flying at their fingertips. We've also now got second and third generation R/C fliers who have passed down learning (and equipment) and saved the kids going through rubber free-flight, glow free flight, control-line, gliders, glow two channel, glow three channel, glow four channel, etc.

My Dad's first model airplane was a Taube . . . and was still in service at the time with the German military!

Luckily age and treachery can still triumph over youth and natural skills.
