Hello,
I am doing this thread to see what other people not in my club think.
I'm 15 years old.
Have been flying for 6 years.
I want to start flying warbirds, but the comments I hear at my field about me flying airplanes like warbirds are really making me mad, and making me mad because they base age on what airplanes i should be flying.
I have waayyyy more experience flying these things than they think. I try to let what they say go in one ear and out the other.
So my main question is, what do other people think about a 15 year old flying a Don Smith B-17 bomber or Nosen P-51?
P.S. I do have warbird experience if you want to know.
Thanks
Your flying a Don Smith b-17?? awesome.
The guys atmy previous club would treat me in a similar fashion as I for years had been the youngest member until 2 years ago.
I've got a 13.5 pound .60 size royal corsair and they tried to tell me they wouldn't allow it because I wasn't experienced enough. New club now and she flies just fine but does so with a 23cc weed eater gas conversion engine. Also old club didn't like my giant 14 foot 40 pound Queen, and she's IMMA legal with a zenoah G62. Queen has flown for over 6 years, borrowed engine off it last year for a 73 inch cap 232 to use.
