I'll answer this for my daughter she's 11 now solo'd when she was 9. i was her instructor so she has a big advantage, she has her own planes plus she can fly mine, together we have a dozen some flying, some in the box, the rest in between.
good luck all

i started flying when i was 11/12 and i am now 14 i went solo after about a year with my tremendously overpowered trainer (25 size with a 40) and now fly 3D, slope, slope combat, indoor, and anything that fly's. My dad is particularly proud of my recent slope combat win on Sunday (notice my title), and i think my model collection has grown to about 20 strong!!! (i keep getting given them)

I started flying at 12 and now I am 14. I went from a NexStar Trainer to a Four Star 40 to a .90 Edge with Saito 100 and now I have a 28% AeroTech Yak with DA-50. I am lucky to have a great Dad that takes me flying and loves to watch me fly, he also pays for some of my planes.

I am 17, and have almost 2 years of flying experience and my dad had always been involved on r/c planes he covers all the money for the hobby; I fly with my brother(21) and we have 8 planes (2 EP) but just 2 flight packs so he have to rotate gear between planes. Never had a crash so far and my new baby is the Extreme Flight Edge 540T sweet plane to fly. (and my poor Outrage 3D also lots of fun)
NOW MY INTEREST IS SET UP ON BUYING A CAR.....to drive myself to the flying field

RE: Young Pilots Forum
how much is it too fly there be cause i am movin too australlia soon (well next year) and is model well supported or do you have to order planes and other parts things online
ORIGINAL: Chris-B-chips
its really good because the clubs aren't to crouded. normally theres only one person in the air at a time and you still manage to get 6-7 flights in a day. most of the people i fly with are pattern flyers like myself.
