RE: Years of experience in R/C hobby including operating/flying & building
I started building stick and tissue freeflight when I was about 8. When I was 10 I started on plastc airplanes. I think I built every model airplane that any store with 30 miles had(distance to the hobby shop). I read every book about planes the libraries had by the time I was 12(doesn't say much for the libraries around here). I flew some control line in my 20's. I am 43 and got into RC about 3 years ago. I was amazed to find the cost had not changed much in 15-20 years. The price of an engine or TX is alomost the same as it was then. How many things can you say that about? I cannot believe I am getting into 1/4 scale and gas, that was a dream of mine when I was a kid.-BW
