ORIGINAL: planebuilder66

I saw that 6 year old fly a heli on U-tube when he was only 5, after seeing him fly I decided to put the heli into cold storage, I got really depressed knowing that a 5 year old can fly a heli way better than I could even imagine doing!?
When we both started on the heil in May 2006, my learning curve was much faster than Justin's. But, around 5-6th month, he started to excel and flew right past me. At that time, especially right after Justin lands, I had no energy or desire to go up. This bad feeling lasted about 6 months or so. I then became better and felt that he is who he is and I am me. I started RC because I loved it not becuase I wanted to beat Wolfgang Matt or Hanno Prattner.

I just put in 100x more effort that Justin and one day when he slows down, I will fly right past him in my next life.
