I was big into r/c for many years. Soloed a control line model at 6. Soloed an r/c glider on a high start at 8. Got out of it in my teen years, got back in big time in my 20's in both fixed wing and helicopters. At the same time got my first ratings. As life progressed to career and marriage, I fell short on time. I went inactive on R/C, as I'd rather spend the time I have flying full scale. R/C is great though. I'll be back someday.
