I know school is def getting in the way for me. No time to fix airplanes and I have to fly others at contest I go to. I probably have only been at the flying field maybe 3 times if you dont count the two imac events i went to since August! It really hurts when in high school I flew about every weekend and stayed out at the field from 10 AM to 9 PM and maybe some during the week.

I'm 21 been flying on and off since I was 4. Putting together a 110" EF Yak for next year. Between working and trying to race a 270cc micro sprint my flying time this year was really limited. I only flew half a gallon of gas, 4 gallons of glow in a heli and maybe half a gallon of glow in a plane. But somehow managed to put together more then 3 people ever need to have. I put together 6 or 7 new planes, 3 or 4 new helis and bought a baja 5T and alot of arfs and helis still to put together so yeah I have the sickness.

There was a couple of young adults at the Ocala IMAC handing some of the older folks their butt's in the various classes!!!!!!

At the Tucson Shootout this month, 9 out of 12 pilots that made the podimum (1st, 2nd, 3rd) for Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced and Unlimted are 18 or under! The 1st place finisher in each class is out of the SW Region and are 16 or under. Damn kids!

Sounds like we will need a SENIOR IMAC League, make those pesky kids compete among themselves. We have to protect the shakers and the near-blind!!!!!!
