Age poll

[Rogue_One]

It's nice to see youngsters like Michael flying - In 2 weeks I will be 86 years of age, wonder who the oldest member is.

Rondal March 29,1933

27 years and one day on me, Rondal. March 30, 1960!

The youngsters have no clue how good it gets

My stepdad retired last year huge pay increase plus saves gas because he doesn’t have to drive 40 miles one way to work anymore

by continuing to work 2 days a week i get to keep my company vehicle and cell phone plus health insurance so not a bad deal,only downside is never driving my cars,one is an '99 trans am with only 49k on the clock and my son put 30k of those going to college.

Hello everyone [emoji41]. Almost 41 and first real drone (Mavic pro platinum) I’ve had the pleasure of flying. I’ve had a couple 450 size helicopters and multiple small quads. I’m having a blast.

 

[bassnbeau]

71 and still getting it up.........come on people get your minds out of the gutter..........I was referring to the Mavic Pro.....

 

[SpitFire]

I'd be interested to see how many people are between 40-60 and how many are over 60.

I am 72, I got the drone so I can see places where my legs will not take me anymore.

You must be young (original poster).... need 50-60 and 60+ categories ;-)

Tell him bro... The young haven't a clue as to how good it gets... 67 here

 

[Ron_Dog]

Just turned 69 last month! I've enjoyed RC for over 40 years, and still fly every chance I get!

60 is the new 40...right? I got my real estate license at 60; that was four years ago and recently procured a Mavic Pro to do my own real estate aerial photography. I was shocked at how complicated the FAA has made getting a commercial UAV Certificate. It is harder than getting a real estate license. What's up with that? I just want to take a few photos, not fly an airplane....geez.

You thought getting 107 cert was hard?

Amen to that brother

Yeah, you're right. Piece of cake....

I have no idea what you're studying but the 107 test I took covered rules &regs, some weather, some chart reading.... None of the stuff you describe... Buy a 107 study guide read it just before you take the test and you'll done fine...$100, 60 questions, and about 1st...easy peasy
