Got hooked at a young age because we had 3 full scale planes in the back of the barn on our farm. I flew for years with my dad , due to bad health lost physical. So I take up rc to fill the void of flying. Yes I was raised with a aeronca champ , chief and a archer. There is no sound so sweet of a air knocker flying over. I can thank my dad for getting me hooked on flying...thanks dad
