Default RE: Got my wings!

Thanks guys for welcoming me back to the sport. I'm an old dude, 54 who flew 25+ years ago and didn't have time to keep with it due to family and job. I was surprised that it came back so quick, solo'd within the month and that was with several trips to field with engine and/or weather conditions. Still, even at this age it's a bit nerve racking as I was never a really acomplished flyer even back in the 80's when my reflexes and eyesight was good. Now I find that I need to fly a bit slower and within the "box" rather than letting it get out or up too far. Hoping to stick with it for the rest of my time on this planet! Thanks to RCKen for the nice RCUniverse 'atta boy".
