Well, I am also younger (28) but not ready to build at this point. Just tippin' my toe in the water and trying my first ARF. My wife bought a used trainer for me and it came with a flight box and all for extremly cheap. ($500 combo for $245 wonder what she did to talk him down
JK!!) No hobby clubs in the area that are close, closest is 60 min drive for building tips or alterations to do to a kit. Not a bad drive, but when gas costs us a buck a litre it is a big deal!! (3.? or 2 something litres in a gallon.) and of course we live in a country where every citizen can own like a quater section of land if we spread out.
I would love to build a plane also, but Ido not have any room at all (babies fault
) so an ARF will have to do till Iget a house and a garage.
Nice to hear about more young fellow countrymen wanting to build (with babies no less!) I'll say this: although there were no babies, when I was in my 20's I'd build on the doorstep if needed. Actually, in summer, you can grab a good old door, a pair of used trestles and set up shop outside. Icurrently build half way out of the garage when the whether is nice. During my teens, I'd hog up the kitchen table and dinner would be had outside. Once your wing has been sheeted and your fuse framed up for which you need a flat table, just about anywhere will do.
Enjoy that ARFin the meantime. It doesn't hurt as much when they fly toward center earth and they are not the fruits of your labour.
