RE: Does age have to do with what airplanes you fly?
I agree that age and maturity do not always follow a linear progression. When my son was 16 he had been flying RC for about 6 or 7 years and Full Size aircraft for a couple. One of the differences is the amount of training required. To fly RC most clubs will solo you if you can get up and down fairly safely. But Full Scale planes require a maturity far beyond RC. Are you mature or skilled enough? That's not possible for anyone to answer unless they have witnessed you fly over a period of time. If there are members in your club who doubt your ability they are at least able to watch you and judge your actions. I would think you should be old enough and mature enough but I don't know. We have people of all ages in our club who lack the maturity to safely fly. Keep flying you will get better and older everyday.
