No problem at all flying my mighty Spark, been flying RC planes for 50 years. My first radio was a Kraft 3 channel. The elecronics on drones is very impressive.

That must be an old picture on your avatar. You don't look a day over 50 
Good on you at 59 I thought I was one of the oldest on here still flying
81 next month..............but a new flyer..........great fun and great photos
Been flying for just over a year now and with turn 72 on the 21st. Good to see so many mature guys here. Maybe we should put together a 65 and older event sometime. Stay healthy my friends!

85 1/2 and still active. I spend winters in Tucson, Arizona and the rest of the year in Seattle, Washington. I bought my Spark last December and I learn something new every time I fly her. It's been a great experience. Thanks to all of you who have helped me along the way. You're the best!

Can't help but chime in. I still feel like a kid at 80. Great to see others as old enjoying the fruits of the latest technology.
I'm only 35 and stuck in a 63 year old body. That really ticks me off. ?
I might grow old but I refuse to grow up!

72 here, flying in Tacoma WA (also known as Baja BC). BYW age has nothing to do with maturity.
I'm sure glad to see some other old coggers on here.I'm 75 and just got my Spark and is she just great. Like you I have been flying RC planes for over 50 years. I also had a Kraft 3 channel transmitter. I started out with a Ace single channel tail wager. I have already learned so much from this forum.

I’m glad to see that there are some long time RC plane fliers enjoying this branch of the hobby. I see a lot of stories about the negative attitude towards dji products/pilots from the fixed wing establishment.
I’m 55, enjoy flying my spark, own a never flown RC plane

Hi all 76 here and have been flying RC for 45 years, planes, heli's and Quads. I have enjoyed flying my spark since Jan 2018, a joy to fly.
Also into electric boats, both air and speed.
Just love RC.
Cheers,

WOW! I hope I look that good when I'm 80. Wait, what am I talking about - I don't look that good now and I'm only 65 ?
