Just had to say some thing A friend brought a plane over for me to finish building!!!
His dad had just started RC and was 85 and did not get to finish it. How old is to OLD Well I will let you finish He was doing a great job Then could not build no more.

I think as long as you can see your plane and react to it your golden

I for got to Thank Love air and drake for the support of this man, Mr Price will be missed.

Old is the individual not just the number of years in the past. I started modeling in 1934 and I'm still at it at close to 82. Good enough to have people want me to build airplanes for them. I don't have any idea about the next few years but hope to keep right on until they pat me in the face with a spade. I'm always sorry when I hear that someone is just too old to build any more. The days of the ARF are here and may solve some of the problems. Usually eyesight is a problem when it comes to flying. One of our better pilots is now at the stage where he can't see well enough any more. He's younger than I am, not much, but them I'm hoping to become an intermediate pilot some day. For RCOutlaw - if you finish the job for him you will have all my best wishes.

Ballgunner, my hat is off to you sir. [sm=thumbup.gif] I'm no spring chicken, but you considerably out-do me. I still love to fly very scary models, but it seems that there are more scary models every year. I sincerely hope to hang in there as long as you are doing.

If your job was as your "handle" suggests, thanks as well.

P.S. The epithet "Too Old" really pi$$es me off. So does the though of being too old to keep doing this -- with any luck, I'm gonna bite it with transmitter in hand.

RC Outlaw -- thanks to you. I wish that there were more young-uns like you.

My dad turned 85 last week... He burns 2 gallons of fuel per week!

My dad will be 88 next month,,back in 1963 I think it was, he and my brother got 2 full circles on a cox .049 trainer before it crashed, and that was the full extent of his interest in the hobby...Rog

A couple of years ago we had a new member join our club at 88years, never flown before , now 93 and having a ball.

Cheers

If age gets to be a problem for me I hope I will still be able to build. Of the two, flying/building, loosing my ability to build a model will be the more sorly missed thing I like to do!
