Umm.. sorry, I am 61, have 20/22 sight in both eyes (corrected) and had a cataract removed from my left eye. I wear corrective glasses, mostly for far sightedness (I can see far but need corrections to read or see clearly up close). And I fly RC and fly just fine.

The key factor here is if you can see the plane as it is in the sky, as Overbored stated. The only way you are going to know this is by going to a field where RC is active and watch. Stand next to the guy with the controller and, if you can see the plane as it is right side up AND upside down and be able to tell the difference.. and if you can see that it is either coming toward you or going away from you, then you are ok.

If you are serious about trying RC, then you will have to take a day and drive to somewhere that they ARE flying RC and check this out.

But, one major issue here is how long the plane will last after you do decide that you can handle it. We've always suggested instructors and a buddy box to work with to at least get you through the basics of flying RC. Doing it alone is going to be costly.

A sim can help, getting a good sim to practice with on your PC is a good way to start before you actually get your aircraft.

But, if you do decide to go with it, then size matters, and be aware that you have a high probability of a crash without an instructor than you would with one.
