You can add me to the "geezer" (or perhaps "near geezer" is more appropriate) list who is relatively new to the hobby. I'll be 59 in June and have been flying about a year. Trained on an Alpha 60, then a Sig 4* with an OS 75 on it. (which I managed to total out a couple of weeks ago[&o])

I found the 4* much more fun to fly than the Alpha, a notion that was solidified when I took the Alpha back out in place of the crashed 4*. The crash was attention related, rather than reaction time. Got distracted.
