I started playing with Flying models in 1944. I was 8 years old. I cut out models with my dad's razor blades. I have flown pretty much continual since. Was exciting as the hobby kept progressing to bigger and better things. I live in the desert southwest, so flying is pretty much year-round.
My 42% Ultimate had been my biggest and favorite airplane. Our club membership is down but we have a solid group trying to keep our field flyable, but Desert storms have taken their toll on us but we are still there every week. I enjoy the hobby so much my wife and I had a hobby shop here for 46 years. I have taught more people than I could count to fly.
I could go on and on but just tried to share how much pleasure this hobby has given me and my family. Today is my 90th birthday and I was flying my electric helicopter this morning.
