Like I said, bright group of kids we got here! LOL!
Sweet jeebus, that's true and depressing all at the same time.

Don't be speaking for all of us older men.. my Phantom 2 is a chick magnet! They may be using walkers, and wear dentures, but they're still danged hard to get away from!
My father was the Squadron leaders wingman in the BOB, he flew Hurricanes in India, mark 3-4 and 5 Spitfires.
As I remember he didn't like the 5 prop version as it cut too much air. In his logbook he wrote "twitch" after his first flight, well it turned out he had a crash landing and walked back to the aerodrome.

Kites, Estes rockets, line-controlled .49 gas powered balsa airplanes. Then adulthood, marriage, babies and all that. Then empty nest and time/money/guts to do the RC thing. Was waiting for the "gimbal'd" Vision and it finally arrived. This is so cool, I think of something new to do each day. It is neat to have the spread of ages in this hobby.

I will be 64 on May 11, your never too old to have fun, I also am an avid Kayaker and BASE Jumper
56. New to RC, but flew and crashed and fixed the Cox PT 19 Flight Trainer for many years as a kid.
In my 20's became avid copilot in my buddy's Super Decathalon. Love, love, love flying aerobatic.
I blame Jeff Bezos for my Phantom addiction. I had ordered a Canon Rebel and L series lens on Amazon, and separately ordered a $60 toy helicopter (coaxial rotors). Jeff decided that if I liked chocolate, and I liked peanut butter, that I must try Reese's peanut butter cups. I am grateful for the introduction.
Can't wait for GoPro 4 (based on specs I am seeing online), fully tunable Zenmuse 3D, macro of configurable voice-activated flight maneuvers that can be designed on ipad and downloaded to my Futaba, and the Phantom 3 that will follow me (with intelligent camera ops) while I surf, snowboard, mountain bike, SUP, and play with my kids.
