I started flying ucontrol with my dad and family in the late 1960s. By the early 1970s, we started flying RC models. My dad started with a mrc Cessna 177, and I started on a sureflite Cessna. Upon my dad's passing in 1980, I left the hobby until the 1990s, when my father-in-law got me back into flying. He had models but had never flown RC, so after a few flights and rough landings, I was back flying RC with the help of a flight craft Cessna.
I later taught my father-in-law to fly and flew into the early 2000s. As luck would have it, upon retiring due to health problems, I have returned to flying and building model kits I collected over the years. Even when not active in the hobby, I have always had it close to my heart as are my memories of learning to fly with my dad.
