How old are you?
 

I know this hobby attracts people of all ages. But i'm curious what age group is most popular in RC flying.

RE: How old are you?
 

There was an "age" thread not too long ago, and the majority here at RCU was on the young side IIRC. Overall, it's been shown that this hobby in general is aging (average age getting older), and last I knew the average national age was up around 60, but that may start changing with the advent of the Park Flyer and ARF's. :D

Ah whada ya young whippersnappers know!!!??
I feel like 100, I think like I'm 30, I act like I'm 12.

Jetts

I'm 42.

RE: How old are you?
 

Feel like 100? Wait another ten years. [:@]

But I still think like I'm 30 (or mid 20's) and act like I'm 12 too. What most young people don't realize is that you don't change much in mind and spirit after your early twenties. So, although the body might slow down and feel worse, the rest of you remains the same. :D

For Sure...Exactly..though I now feel most of the mistakes that I made in football and such sports.
I still ride motorcycles, water ski, fish, hunt and enjoy life more than whats good for me.

59 with 47 years of RC experience. My how things have changed.

RE: How old are you?
 

I can only imagine the changes in 47 years! In this hobby and in the world!! So whats better with new planes and radio systems compared to 47 years ago? No string connected to your plane?! LoL

RE: How old are you?
 

Who wants to know? [sm=wink.gif]

Oh my 3D plane came down alright. Bungled harrier landing.

RE: How old are you?
 

For the last 10 years I've been 35

Tipping the scales microscopically at 13:D
Unlike all you heavy weights out there:)

RE: How old are you?
 

32!

RE: How old are you?
 

I also agree, the mind keeps the same after 20.
The 35 years old body get in trouble to carry a 20 years old mind:D

dkf1979,

The radios are better. First xmtr was a surplus WWII tank transmitter on 6 meters. Had two 12 volt car batteries to give 24 volts to a dynamotor to get the high voltage for the xmtr. It could put out 100 watts, but I operated it about 3-5. Receiver was home brew with a 3 volt A battery for filament and 67 volt B battery for plate. Had to save alot of allowance to pay for batteries. Escapement for rudder control. Early version of Esquire, K & B engine.

Everything is better today. Radios are great, still on 6 meters. Servos, engines, kits all are better. New electric stuff is great. Going through the transition from single channel to multi channel and the challenge of reeds to todays computer radios has been fun, but I'm glad I have my PCM 10x.

This is the worlds greatest pastime.

I'm a whoppin 35 for about 1 more month.

I must admit the results of the poll so far are suprising.
I expected more old geezers.:D

RE: How old are you?
 

I'll be 80 next June. Started modeling in 1934 (gummi bands) and got my first engine in 1936. Been through the whole route and enjoyed every minute of it. Tried the early RC but didn't get serious until proportional came out. Serious RC with an EK Logictrol Little Red Brick. I still get some nice compliments on my building skills but I'm only an intermediate pilot. So far only two ARF's. After 70+ years at it I'm still learning.

RE: How old are you?
 

I think part of the reason we're not seeing higher numbers in the older age brackets is because a lot of older people just don't DO computers!

I know that at least half the members (in my two clubs) over the age of 60 don't even own a PC.

yippee

I'm the only guy who is in the 0-12 age group:D

Though i don't think newborn babies would just decide to go to the hobby store and buy a Tx and a plane!

Imagine a one-minute-old baby flying a 3D machine

But i'll be 13 soon

RE: How old are you?
 

Hey mr.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm 12 too --are results now have a full %1

Being the hobbies youth and loving it!!!!:)
