Hello
 

Hello, Cessna26.
Glad to see another Utahn! I have flown a few times up in Salt Lake, at Geneva Park. I too have an E-Starter. It's in sad condition but, it flies!

Money issue. Ack, ptph! This is the only downside of this wonderful hobby. I only have one flight pack. And as of right now I don't have one at all because my esc just died. [:@] It's a sad time. Luckily my dad lets me fly his Mountain Models Dandy in the meantime.

As for buying used radios. I bought mine used. It is the Hitec Flash 5X. It retails at about $110 w/o shipping, and I got it for $75 shipped. (transmitter only) I don't know if I'd buy from E-Bay, that sounds kind of scary to me. Though an amazing amount of people do, so there must be some people happy with it! ;)

Oh, and I am 14!

Chris

Hi guys,
I am 35 and am still considered young at my club. I started when I was 6 with my dad. You all are very lucky to be flying now. I started with a Babby Buzzard Bombshell. 30's design 2 channel. I now fly Sig kobras and have a suggestion to all of you. ENJOY don't let anyone pick on you or put you down for this hobby.

RE: Young Pilots Forum
 

I'd be interested to hear from the older guys... were there people this young (10-14) in the hobby in the past? I started flying while I was in college, and at 23 I was one of the youngest around (I'm 35 now).

By the way, why is this in the crash forum? :)

RE: Young Pilots Forum
 

im 14, and geez, ive spent more on my electric helicopter then i have on my glow powered plane:eek:
what a crazy world this is ei? heheh
Raptor 5900, i do intend on flying pattern and scale planes as soon as i get the skills, im only learning on the plane, but im full on with the heli :D , also, one question , is that the F3a from precision aerobatics?
one thing i intend to do if i get enuf money is to get a hirobo sceadau 50 and convert it to EP :):D

btw i also have *cough* had, 2 completely scratch built planes, a piper cub which got eaten by my dog, i will never take them to the field again ! and a B-2 spirit which i am in the midst of re building after i got shot down.... by a tree.

RE: Young Pilots Forum
 

Im just starting to fly pattern with my Great Planes Giles.

P.S Im 13 have been flyin since I was 11, and Have 5 flyable planes and a N.I.B H9 Superstick[8D]

Sorry for the glair in the photo of my Giles I had just cleaned, and polished it a couple minutes before that.

RE: Young Pilots Forum
 

I'm 17

got a job recently so I can afford to finish my plane (LT-40 kit, the plane's half built, but I need money to afford engine and tx). Working, contrary to everything I have ever wished, for a fast food place making minimum wage.

RE: Young Pilots Forum
 

im 14, and I have been flying for 3 years. I am the youngest member at my club, and my dad (57) is one of the younger guys....

I also fly full scale gliders, and I am to be soloing soon, but it has been cutting back on my rc (no money, so I work there) but now I am flying my RC airplanes at the airport, 2 birds with one stone, what more could you ask for?

RE: Young Pilots Forum
 

Im 13... Got 2 Trainers(Solo And Superstar), Tissan Haifa Banana 2000(1/2A), 2 gliders and spa3d.
for me, buildting is more fun then flying :-D

RE: Young Pilots Forum
 

Just throught I would add this. My son is only 10. He has GP pitts with a brisson 3.2 a trainer and a something extra. As for me, I started flying when I was 6 i'm 30 now. Its great to here all the younger generation flyers out there. Keep bugging your parents for planes. Eventualy they will cave in and buy you one.

RE: Young Pilots Forum
 

hey guys,\

i never would of thought there would be so many young people out there like me!!! i am 12. i have finnaly figured out a way to make some money to support my hobby (along with help from my dad;):D). i am a state representitive here in australia and i distribute 3dfoamy models among everyone in the state making about a $10AUD profit on all the models. i am also a personel foamy builder. so if people don't have enough time to build thier foamies i build it for them!!! its really good because i am doing something i love and i am getting paid for it!!!!!
